*****

Claudie Jobard took charge of her family domaine in 2002. She comes from a long line of green-fingered growers and the Jobard name is well established in Rully; it’s her father’s name that adorns the plant nursery at the entrance to the village of Demigny. He was a pépiniériste (nurseryman) and responsible for planting vineyards of the highest quality, resulting in Claudie inheriting a superb set of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards in and around Rully, plus some inherited from her grandfather in Pommard. Her mother was an oenologist herself, well regarded for her work at Joseph Drouhin. After graduating with her own Oenology degree, Claudie stopped the sales of the family’s grapes to négociants and began her own venture, bottling her own wines under her name. Like her father, vineyard health is paramount and she is well on her way to being certified organic.

The level of detail and clarity in her wines speaks volumes about her approach to winemaking and these are balanced, expressive wines worth seeking out.

Claudie runs a fine, 10 hectare estate and is putting a lot of attention to her vines and runs has her own nursery with rootstock and clones.

Vaumuriens lies immediately above the renowned premier cru of Rugiens and makes magnificent, fleshy Pommard from 8-10 year old vines. This Pommard was aged in 30% new oak barrels offering a serious, vibrant and deliicous wine. A complex mixture of red and black fruits are matched by firm but ripe tannins and a long, sweet finish. Drink 2027-2033.
