Sixteen years ago, during our first recruitment-tour among producers in Burgundy, we visited three producers in Meursault. Today, we still work with all three of them. One of those was Domain Rémi Jobard.
In 1996, Rémi Jobard took over his father’s family estate. Naturally gifted and hardworking, Rémi Jobard today finds himself among the elites of Meursault. His vineyards include three premier cru parcels: Genevrières, Poruzots and Charmes, as well as plots in “second'” growths like Les Narvaux and Les Chevalières. In those last two lieux-dits, Remi produced Meursaults whose character is more in line with premier crus than with villages wines. His whites might be best described as elegant and linear.
Jobard also produces beautiful red wines in Monthélie as well as a premier cru Volnay Santenots. His aligoté, and white and red Burgundies offer stellar value. His white burgundy is sourced from six parcels adjacent to the Meursault appellation. The resulting wine is stunning—a baby Meursault at a fraction of the cost.

Domaine Rapet is based in Pernand Vergelesses, perhaps the most beautiful wine village in the Cote d’Or.

The domaine’s website makes their aims explicit : “A great wine is obtained from good grapes. Our entire focus centers around the minute and careful work required to tend the vines and soil. It is serious, applied labour…” Domaine Rapet’s red wines are full and supple. They taste great when young, while also having the capacity to improve with age. Their whites, from Pernand Vergelesses and Corton-Charlemagne, are very direct and focused, offering incredibly precise interpretations of their terroirs.

Pierre Morey is an illustrious name in Burgundy as he was in a métayage agreement with Domaine des Comtes Lafon until the late 1980s.

When their partnership came to an end, he started a négociant firm named after his father and mother: Morey-Blanc. He was also the régisseur of the equally famous Domaine Leflaive from 1988 to 2008. While there, he ran his own domain and his négoce business alongside supervising things at Domaine Leflaive. Today, Pierre Morey works alongside his daughter Anne.
An early authority on biodynamic grape growing, he converted his own domaine to organic farming in 1993, and has been practicing biodynamics since 1998. In his cellar, 20% of stems are used in his reds, and the wines undergo a prolonged vinification period. His whites, always blessed with glorious levels of minerality, receive an élevage of 18 months in barrels, of which less than 40% are in new barrels. The white wines of Pierre Morey are dazzling examples of Burgundian haute couture.
