The 2022 Domaine Antoine Jobard Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots is a beautifully refined and finely structured Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most respected traditional domaines. Sourced from the steep limestone-rich slopes of the Les Montrevenots Premier Cru vineyard above Beaune, the wine reflects Antoine Jobard’s increasingly precise and terroir-focused approach to red Burgundy, favouring elegance, mineral tension and purity over excessive extraction. The nose reveals wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry layered alongside violet, sweet spice and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine impressive lift and finesse.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a finely etched mineral core. Layers of bright red berry fruit, subtle savoury complexity and gentle whole-bunch spice are balanced by chalky freshness and fine structure, finishing long, poised and beautifully persistent with excellent detail and ageing potential. Careful élevage in restrained oak preserves the transparency and freshness of the vineyard while adding subtle depth and texture.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Domaine Antoine Jobard Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots is a superb Premier Cru Burgundy — elegant, mineral and beautifully composed with outstanding finesse and precision. Perfect with roast duck, mushroom dishes, quail, charcuterie or lighter game dishes. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar gracefully through 2040+.
