Vintage Character Domaine Antoine Jobard Pommard “Les Epenots” Premier Cru 2020 is a refined, terroir‑driven expression of Pinot Noir from one of Pommard’s most historic and admired climats.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the Côte de Beaune, the 2020 vintage is widely regarded as excellent, thanks to a hot, dry growing season that produced ripe, concentrated fruit while still preserving balancing acidity, a combination that here translates into vibrant black cherry, ripe raspberry, wild strawberry and red plum on the nose, lifted by violet and subtle dried herbs. The palate is medium‑full in body with medium‑high acidity and fine, confident tannins, layered with gentle spice, clove, light toast and a touch of cocoa, evolving towards forest floor, sous‑bois and hints of truffle as it ages. The texture is silky yet structured, and the finish is long, savoury and precise, making this a superb partner for dishes such as roast duck breast with cherries, herb‑crusted lamb saddle or wild mushroom risotto, as well as a fine match for aged Comté or other nutty, hard cheeses.
Winery Background Based in Meursault, Domaine Antoine Jobard is revered among Burgundy enthusiasts for crafting precise, long‑lived wines that foreground terroir over overt winemaking artifice. The estate has deep family roots, with Antoine Jobard gradually taking over from his father François and maintaining a reputation for meticulous vineyard work, controlled yields and careful sorting to capture purity and balance. In the cellar, he has gently refined the approach while preserving a restrained, classic style, favouring relatively long élevage and a measured use of new oak so that each climat speaks clearly rather than being marked by wood. His smallholding in Pommard Premier Cru “Les Epenots,” produced in limited quantities compared with his better‑known Meursault whites, is farmed and vinified with the same exacting care, resulting in a rare, characterful red Burgundy that highlights both the firmness and finesse this renowned site can deliver.
