Description
This comes from a steep, pebble-rich vineyard to Rully’s north, lying just below 1st Growth Clos du Chaigne. The vines are more than 45 years old, this being the first vintage of organic certification. In 2022, retaining vital freshness was key to Claudie`s winemaking strategy – as such, she did not practice any lees stirring in this cuvée, which aged in 15% new oak for 6 months prior to earlier-than-usual bottling, in June 2023. Pale lemon-gold in the glass, aromas are delicately floral and attractive. This is a medium bodied, precise, finely textured mouthful, having clean, charming, stone and lemon fruit and a balanced, fresh finish (for drinking 2023-2025+).

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.
