Antoine Jobard is the son and heir to the estate of the famous Francois Jobard, one of the first producers ever imported by the venerable Kermit Lynch. The estate is managed with the same quality standards and organic practices as Antoine’s father. The Aligoté for this wine comes from a single vineyard of only 0.2 hectare in size, which was planted in 1987. This is some high-quality old-school Aligoté, gently pressed with no settling of must, primary and malolactic fermentations in oak (but only 20% new), no lees stirring during élevage, and nearly two years of aging in 4-5 year-old neutral oak. This all serves to cultivate a rich and creamy profile while preserving this varietal’s natural freshness, creating an Aligoté that is crisp but flavorful and speaks of Jobard’s incredible terroir.
