Jobard’s 2010 Meursault En Luraule is built on a serious core of intense fruit, but shows less in the way of aromatic nuance and minerality. Saline notes appear on the finish, but they remain in the background, with the open, radiant fruit taking center stage. The En Luraule is attractive Meursault that will drink well pretty much upon release 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. Importer: Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
