2020 Bourgogne Rouge
Domaine Antoine JobardThe first time I tasted Jobard's wines there was a lineup of almost twenty bottles. The Bourgogne Pinot Noir was the first red after a spectacularly chiseled showing of over a dozen whites, which could well leave a palate exhausted, but lo and behold, this bottle’s notes have a star next to them. Likewise, I’d throw a star on my notes for the 2020 vintage: silky, sultry Burgundy through and through / ripe blackberry violets / juicy deep and brambly.
Sourced from four parcels in the appellation of Pommard, it manages to balance characteristic sturdiness with easy accessibility. Don’t be scared to open this bottle in its youth—it is soft and velvety with a lively brightness that hits at the tip of the tongue. Serious, but fun!

About The Producer
Domaine Antoine Jobard
About The Region
Burgundy
In eastern central France, Burgundy is nestled between the wine regions of Champagne to the north, the Jura to the east, the Loire to the west, and the Rhône to the south. This is the terroir par excellence for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The southeast-facing hillside between Dijon in the north and Maranges in the south is known as the Côte d’Or or “golden slope.” The Côte d’Or comprises two main sections, both composed of limestone and clay soils: the Côte de Nuits in the northern sector, and the Côte de Beaune in the south. Both areas produce magnificent whites and reds, although the Côte de Beaune produces more white wine and the Côte de Nuits more red.
Chablis is Burgundy’s northern outpost, known for its flinty and age-worthy Chardonnays planted in Kimmeridgian limestone on an ancient seabed. Vézelay is a smaller area south of Chablis with similar qualities, although the limestone there is not Kimmeridgian.
To the south of the Côte de Beaune, the Côte Chalonnaise extends from Chagny on its northern end, down past Chalon-sur-Saône and encompasses the appellations of Bouzeron in the north, followed by Rully, Mercurey, Givry, and Montagny.
Directly south of the Chalonnaise begins the Côte Mâconnais, which extends south past Mâcon to the hamlets of Fuissé, Vinzelles, Chaintré, and Saint-Véran. The Mâconnais is prime Chardonnay country and contains an incredible diversity of soils.
