Further south, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is celebrated for its rich and full-bodied red blends, with Château Rayas and Clos des Papes leading the way.

The 2011 Meursault is totally alive in the glass. Gunpowder, slate and green pear notes emerge from a wine that impresses for its pure energy and drive. Next to some of the other wines in the range, the 2011 is a bit rough around the edges, but there is no lack of conviction and personality. It will be interesting to see if bottle age softens some of the contours. Still, there is a lot to like here.Inc. TAX€8,488.48 -

Bright yellow. Musky pineapple and lemon aromas offer a bit less lift today than the Cailleret but plenty of allure. Less sweet and pristine in the middle palate than the Cailleret, but a bit thicker in texture, with the stony underpinning and spine of lemony acidity to give it a seriously penetrating quality. A sexy element of reduction adds to this young wine's considerable appeal. Conveys a strong, tactile impression of dry extract without any rough edges and finishes salty and long.

(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.
