Note di degustazione
(from four different plantings, ranging in age from about 20 to 50 years): Reticent minerally nose. Juicy, tight and aromatic, but a bit linear and austere, conveying a stronger impression of acidity but only modest body. This very dry, slightly saline wine stands out more for its inner-mouth tension than for its flesh and will need a few years in bottle to fill out. Jobard produced 11 barrels, vs. a normal 15 to 17, which he described as "not bad for the vintage." He told me that his vines at the top of the vineyard near the forest were hit hard by the frost, which is very unusual here.

Very lifted nose with great raciness. Already an attractive whole. (JR)
The 2016 Meursault Les Tillets, which lost 40% of its crops due to the frost that was apparently severe toward the treeline, has another crisp and focused bouquet, with a subtle marine influence of cockles shells and oyster neatly complementing the citrus fruit. Again, I like the delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, spicier than I was anticipating with hints of stem ginger and even curry leaf toward the finish. What a very fine Meursault Les Tillets from Antoine Jobard this year.
