Staff Pick Notes

Claudie Jobard comes from a long line of winemakers and growers (her mother was the winemaker at Joseph Drouin and her father runs a vine nursery) but ever since she took over the family winery 20 years ago she's become renowned in her own right for making top-notch organic wines. This premier cru from Beaune is a prime example of her talents. The 2020 vintage was a balanced year, producing wines with both fruit and structure, augmented by aging in 20% new oak. The result is a full-bodied wine with dark red fruit, spice and savory notes. Approachable now, though will age beautifully.
