About this Wine

A very high, cold, rocky, late-ripening site, Montrevenots is at the top of the hill on the Pommard boundary above Clos des Mouches. It’s a south-facing slope, which mitigates the altitude to some extent. The white clay and limestone soils tend to deliver bright, red fruit notes, raciness and fine, powdery structure. It’s a tiny cuvée at this stage, cropped from a small parcel of the domaine’s 1.4 hectares. This is because Jobard is replanting most of this site with mass-selection cuttings (including some Chardonnay). Jobard’s parcel was historically known as the Clos des Montrevenots. The vines that produced the wine are 45 years old and, again, all the bunches were destemmed and given a one-week cold soak before fermentation. There was very little new oak, and the wine was bottled after 12 months on lees.

Another Antoine Jobard red with a bounty of fruit that can barely contain its youthful exuberance – almost bouncing out the glass. It feels like the tannins have been left behind and can’t keep up with the fruit, spices trying to thread the two together. Unseemly in its drinkability.

Wines from Burgundy

A legendary wine region setting the benchmark for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay worldwide. In the Jurassic time period, the area was part of a vast, tropical sea. Over hundreds of millions of years, the seabed transformed into various layers of limestone, sandstone and clay soils that have entrapped the fossils of ancient sea creatures. These soils are the secret behind the zesty minerality that Burgundy wines are famous for.

Burgundy is probably the most terroir-centric wine region in France. Huge emphasis is placed on the specific vineyard, soil type, elevation, and angle of slope where the wines were made. This is reflected on the wine's labels where appellations are more prominently displayed compared to the producers’ names.

The most prestigious wines of the region come from a long and narrow escarpment called the Côte d'Or split into the Côte de Nuits to the north and the Côte de Beaune to the south. Côte de Nuits produces many of the world’s finest Pinot Noir’s, all but one of Burgundy’s red Grand Crus are made in this area. Whilst interestingly, the opposite is true for the Côte de Beaune where all but one of the Chardonnay Grand Crus are made. From this information it may seem you should be buying a Pinot from the North and Chardonnay from the south, that is only true for the pinnacle of Burgundian wines. Both outstanding reds and whites are produced throughout the Côte d'Or.

In Burgundy, they use a wine quality tier system that goes:
Grand Crus 1.4% of total production
Premier (1er) Crus 10.2% of total production
Appellations Villages 37.3% of total production
Appellations Regionales 51.1% of total production

When one refers to “Burgundy wines” they are usually talking about those produced in and around the Côte d'Or. While the Chardonnay’s from Chablis and the Gamay’s from Beaujolais are formally apart of the Burgundy wine region, those subregions are generally referred to by their own names rather than being considered “Burgundy wines”.
