Winemaker:Domaine Claudie Jobard
These vines are planted on clay-rich soil, downhill from Beaune Clos des Mouches, near Pommard’s boundary. The bunches were fully ripened and handsome, so one third whole clusters went into the vat, forming mille-feuille layers, allowing the grapes to bathe gently in fresh-run juice, as the sugar transformations began. One third new oak, one third one-year, with one third two-year barrels are responsible for the gentle tending. The wine is medium deep in colour, highly perfumed, with striking fruit intensity, fine tannins, and gentle, mouth-coating length (for drinking 2024-2032+).

Winemaker
Domaine Claudie Jobard
Burgundian vines and wine-making are part of Claudie Jobard’s DNA. Her mother Laurence was for many years the highly-respected head winemaker at Joseph Drouhin, and her family runs a nursery which multiplies vines for replanting top vineyards throughout Burgundy. Since 2002 Claudie has been making her own wines in Rully, and from 2011 took over responsibility for additional family vineyards, producing tiny quantities including two Pommards and a First Growth Beaune, Les Epenottes. 2010 was the first vintage we shipped of her wines, which have become favourites with all who try them. All vineyards are now cultivated organically.
