2021 Domaine Remi Jobard Les Vignes Rondes Monthelie Premier Cru

When Burgundy enthusiasts talk about Rémi Jobard, their eyes immediately light up with thoughts of pristine, razor-sharp Meursault. He is a legendary titan of white wine, known for converting his family estate to organic farming and introducing custom Stockinger oak casks that keep his fruit remarkably vibrant and pure. But those who truly know the Côte de Beaune keep a quiet secret: Jobard’s red wines are low-key masterpieces.

Tucked right against the border of prestigious Volnay, the Premier Cru vineyard of Les Vignes Rondes in Monthélie yields Pinot Noir of astonishing grace and vitality. While neighboring Volnay commands skyrocketing collector prices, Monthélie remains the ultimate insider’s holy grail—delivering that exact same aristocratic elegance, high-altitude freshness, and complex limestone minerality at a fraction of the cost.

In the brilliant 2021 vintage, Jobard captured sheer magic. This is classical Burgundy at its absolute finest: crunchy red fruit, electric minerality, and silky tannins that glide effortlessly across the palate. Because Jobard applies his precise white-wine discipline to red grapes—gentle handling, minimal intervention, and pristine oak integration—the depth in this bottle is nothing short of breathtaking.
