Domaine François et Antoine Jobard

Domaine François et Antoine Jobard – one of the most renowned and consistent estates in Meursault, with a history dating back to 1860. Today, the fifth generation, Antoine Jobard, continues the family tradition. He joined his father François in 2002 and, in 2007, took full responsibility for the domaine, becoming its sole director. The estate covers 4.8 hectares of vineyards, mostly in the commune of Meursault, including prestigious parcels such as Charmes, Porusots, and Genevrières. Antoine’s philosophy is clear: the essential work is done in the vineyard, while winemaking is simply the natural continuation of the terroir’s expression.

Wine Style

Jobard wines stand out for their depth, finesse, and mineral character. The style is based on traditional methods – fermentation and aging take place in standard 225-liter French oak barrels, with up to 20% new oak. Aging lasts longer than in many other Meursault domaines – 18 to 24 months, giving the wines remarkable concentration, structure, and complexity. They are not only enjoyable upon release but also develop beautifully with time.

• White wines (mainly from ‘Chardonnay’) are noted for their pronounced minerality, rich texture, precise freshness, and long aging potential. They are among the most age-worthy wines of Meursault.
• Red wines, though a smaller part of the domaine’s production, are aromatic, with supple tannins and a juicy, fruit-driven character.
