Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet citrus oil, crisp green apple, white flowers, hazelnuts and wet stones, the 2020 Meursault Blagny 1er Cru is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with excellent concentration, racy acids and chalky structuring extract. It's a blend of very old vines with a more recent planting.

Another high point of the range is the 2019 Meursault Blagny 1er Cru, a medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated wine evocative of pear, crisp stone fruit, bread dough and dried white flowers. Layered and seamless, it's an elegant, nicely balanced bottling that concludes with a bright, saline finish.

Scents of citrus oil, white flowers, beeswax and bread dough introduce the 2018 Meursault Blagny 1er Cru, a medium to full-bodied and satiny wine that's bright and lively, with an open-knit, moderately concentrated core and a saline, mouthwatering finish. This will drink well young.

The 2017 Meursault Blagny 1er Cru has turned out well, unfurling to reveal aromas of crisp yellow apple, citrus oil and fresh peach mingled with hints of white flowers and clear honey. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, textural and enveloping, with a charming core of fruit that cloaks its succulent acids. This has fleshed out since I tasted it in barrel, yet it remains an unusually precocious, open-knit rendition of this cuvée (which debuted in 1974).

The 2016 Meursault Blagny 1er Cru has an understated bouquet at first that unwinds with subtle peppermint scents that complement the green apple and light kiwi fruit aromas. It feels delicate and never wants to grab your attention. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine line of acidity, one of Jobard's more saline wines in 2016, with very impressive control and density on the finish. You can feel this lingering in the mouth long after it has departed.
