2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Sous Roche Dumay”
France | Burgundy
Masterfully showcasing the “noble reduction” that winemakers and consumers chase after, starting on an enticing hint of gunflint that gradually opens to hedonistic notes of butter and toast, remaining taut and poised throughout.
2022 Givry Blanc 1er Cru “Crausot”
France | Burgundy
With aromas of apple blossom and marzipan, this Chardonnay is hard to resist on its own, but would be the perfect accompaniment to a semi-hard cheese like comté or baked steelhead trout.
2022 Meursault Blagny 1er Cru
France | Burgundy
The Meursault-Blagny premier cru is an outstanding, upper-slope Meursault, dominated by a stony crunch.
2023 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Les Bousselots”
France | Burgundy
A step up in refinement and opulence, Les Bousselots abounds with pretty red fruit, plums, and minerality. Beware: if you love this, there are seven other premiers crus from Chevillon you might be tempted to explore, and before you know it, you will be looking for space to stock it all!
2022 Beaune 1er Cru “Les Montrevenots”
France | Burgundy
From the first taste in barrel, I immediately understood what Antoine wanted to accomplish stylistically, and the results were love at first taste.
2023 Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc
France | Burgundy
Ever the racy and mineral cuvée, this is all silk and flesh, and a rare village treat from a producer of mainly premier and grand cru wines.
2023 Bourgogne Rouge
France | Burgundy
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!
2011 Meursault-Charmes 1er Cru
France | Burgundy
Extremely limited quantities, limit four bottles per order.
2022 Beaune 1er Cru “Les Epenottes”
France | Burgundy
The darkest, deepest, and most structured of the Jobard lineup.
2022 Meursault 1er Cru “Genevrières”
France | Burgundy
Elegant aromas and a refined texture characterize this bottling from one of the village’s great vineyards.

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.

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
