Antoine Jobard’s top red is drawn from vines planted in the ‘island’ of Petit Epenots just between Grand Epenots and Pezerolles. While one may expect this site to deliver a rich, burley style typical of Pommard, in Jobard’s hands it is vineyard that also delivers finesse—in the context of Pommard—and texture that is as much Volnay as Pommard. From 0.6-hectares of vines planted in 1982 and 1986, Jobard fashions a captivating and seductive wine packed with wild berry and floral notes, lovely flesh and super fine tannins. Serious class.
