We saw Antoine Jobard this year for a change. He is gradually taking over more responsibility for the wines. The wines had just been racked and put onto their fine lees for the second winter in cask. The `07 harvest was finished in early September and the grapes came in with a high malic content, which will stand them in good stead from a structural point of view, and the natural alcohol was around 13%. The ripeness of the fruit combined with the high acid levels means that the wines are balanced and have good richness. The tasting was enjoyable right from the Bourgogne Blanc upwards, with only a couple of wines showing a hint of reduction from the recent racking. The Genevrieres was stunning, as was the 2006 we also tasted. The `07 was really complex and with beautiful texture; very fine indeed. But the star is the Meursault Charmes- very serious, very youthful - obviously - and the hardest, but most rewarding, to taste; floral, citrussy, slightly grippy and very rich. This is a great domaine and the wines continue to improve. (CW 20/11/08)
