Remi Jobard, Meursault, En Luraule

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of about an hour. No formal notes. Sourced from an acre parcel right next to Gouttes d’Or, the 2022 “En Luraule” is richly textured and endowed with good fruit, character and substance. A touch reductive.

Color light gold, nose of crushed fennel, anise, citrus blossom and a stoney minerality. Palate well balanced with hints of almond and melon fruit sweetness, but also a dry, searching grippy richness.

Notes of pineapple and flint on the nose with almond showing up as it opened and hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. Palate was dominated by almond paste and a flinty minerality but had great secondary notes of ripe lemon and nutmeg. As it opens the balance between fruit/almond and mineral was impeccable. Great structure, focus and length! Really …
