2010 Antoine Jobard, Meursault, Les Tillets 1x750ml

Vinous 91+

(a roughly 50/50 blend of 50- and 20-year-old vines): Bright pale yellow. Orange, acacia flower and a smoky suggestion of silex on the nose, along with a hint of resiny oak. Juicy, spicy and energetic, boasting a felicitous balance of sweetness and fresh acidity. Finishes very long and firm-edged. This serious village wine will need a good five years in the cellar. Both the 2010s and 2008s require patience, notes Antoine Jobard. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/09/2012]

Jobard’s 2010 Meursault Les Tillets possesses notable depth and roundness, yet never loses its essential minerality. White flowers and slate add dimensions of complexity in a classic expression of Meursault. The Tillets is the most nervous and wiry of Jobard’s village-level wines. Accordingly, it could use another year or two in bottle. This is another fabulous showing from Jobard. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. [Antonio Galloni, 08/01/2012]
