“A width of silky, medium sized, aroma. A little like the Volnay – airy and with a different structure/architecture. Here with more concentration and less high-tension activity. This is really a beauty in its contemplative but never heavy or fat style.” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“A good bright crimson ruby. There is very little bouquet on show as yet. This is intense, youthful, structured, all in red fruit including some cherries. Needs more elevage to get where it is going, but a promising start.” 89-91 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
The lion’s share of Jobard’s Pommard is drawn from a site known as Les Petits Noizons, where the vines are exposed to the southeast on the hill above the 1er cru line. Meanwhile, the evocatively named Rue au Porc climat sits below the village abutting the D974. Across the holdings (which are not large), the average age of vines is around 50 years. It’s deep and fleshy, with ripe tannins and the finesse we now expect of Antoine’s reds.

Add to cart Producer: By FarrThis is Mortet’s ‘super-Gevrey’, sourced from a clutch of five brilliantly placed plots that Denis Mortet chose for the quality of their terroir and plant material. All the vines are at the northern end of the appellation, which dictates the finesse. The vineyards include: En Motrot, situated between the church and Château de Gevrey-Chambertin, close to Clos Saint-Jacques; Au Vellé, […]
Add to cart Producer: Denis MortetBeautiful pinot noir from Castle Rock, tasted alongside several older vintages, affirming their great aging potential. A difficult hot year 2023, it’s had to believe that such as pure, supple and translucent wine could be forged from such difficulty. Medium bodied, with the black and hedge fruits mashed with licorice, mace, fennel, pink peppercorns and […]
Add to cart Producer: Castle Rock EstateThis is 100% estate fruit, 25% whole bunches were retained while the balance of the crop was destemmed. A wild ferment was in small open vats and the juice had about three to four days rest before some gentle foot-stomping and a daily plunge. Everything was pressed after 14 days into tank, and then gravity-fed […]
