Variety: Aligote

This property Valerie and I visited for the first time in 2010 and we have been drinking the wines ever since. The Jobard name is a powerful one in Meursault, and Remi took full control of this estate in 1996 from his father. When this transition took place, he found himself taking over Meursault and Puligny-based Bourgogne Blancs. The domaine has not used herbicides or pesticides since 1994; they are certified organic. Tasting these wines are a "sensual tour of rock and vine."

Chardonnay might be the bread and butter for most Burgundy domaines, but Aligote is the fruit jam to complement it. Sourced from vines in both the Maconnais (in southern Burgundy) blended with a bit of fruit from Puligny-Montrachet, the wine is aged in both barrels and steel before released.
