Tasting notes
Bright and precise, Jobard's 2018 Meursault Les Tillets exhibits aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, beeswax and fresh bread. Medium-bodied, elegantly textural and dynamic, it's a pretty, mineral wine from this higher-altitude, hillside site.

Rather smokily reductive on the nose. Definite struck-match character but nicely done in that style because it has the citrus fruit to carry it. (JH)
The 2018 Meursault Les Tillets comes from 0.66 hectares of vine. It is tighter and more backward on the nose compared to the En La Barre, and slightly earthier in style, with flinty, chalky notes reluctantly unfolding. The well-balanced palate delivers good concentration on the entry and notes of orange zest, white peaches and a healthy dash of lemongrass. Great tension and wonderful spiciness surface on a finish that is more outgoing than the aromatics at the moment. Excellent.
