The 2010 Meursault Sous La Velle presents an attractive tapestry of ripe, generous fruit supported by persistent notes of saline minerality. The richness of the year is very nice balanced in this mid-weight, gracious white. I especially like the way the wine fleshes out on the finish. The 2010 can be enjoyed today, but I don’t see it having the depth to continue to develop positively for more than a handful of years. Anticipated maturity: 2012+.
Remi Jobard describes the 2010s as having the richness of the 2009s and the elegance of the 2008s. I suppose that’s as good a description as any. Jobard began bringing in his 2010s on September 21. Yields are down a whopping 40-50%, but in exchange Jobard has a superb set of wines that are rich yet not at all heavy. It is a vintage in which the personality of each of these sites comes through in spades. As I mentioned last year, Jobard is among the small but growing number of white Burgundy producers experimenting with foudres, which seems to work especially well with his wines. The Narvaux, Genevrieres, Poruzots are partly aged in foudre, while the Charmes is done entirely in foudre.
