Tasting notes
(this fruit was picked with grape sugars at 14.2%): Pale, green-tinged yellow. Aromas of candied lime blossom, lemon and flowers. Concentrated, ripe and sweet, with its almost glyceral mouth feel nicely leavened by limey lift. Jobard noted that his 2015s finished with about 2.5 grams per liter residual sugar, which he said was higher than usual, and that the added sweetness gives the wines a creamy, unctuous character. This one is a bit youthfully aggressive but impressively tactile, finishing with a light phenolic edge and some emerging minerality. Am I underrating this?

Cask sample. Supple, ripe apple and sweet spice aroma. Generous and fleshy – typical Meursault with loads of layers – and more complexity to come with age. (RH)
(as with the Chevalières and the Genevrières, I tasted this wine from a pièce because Jobard's foudres were still finishing their sugars): Apple, clove and a hint of oak on the nose and palate. Boasts lovely inner-mouth lift and grip; the yield here was actually slightly higher than that of the 2014 (40 hectoliters per hectare, vs. 30 or 35) but this has a more concentrated mouthfeel. A juicy, balanced outperformer.
