Domaine Antoine Jobard Meursault 1er Cru 'Blagny' 2020: Crisp and Compelling
White 13.5% ABV ABV Antoine JobardNice but not £120 nice
Had this at a restaurant and thought it was decent but honestly a bit overhyped for the price. It's creamy and smooth with some pear and floral notes, sure, but I've had Burgundy Chardonnays at half the price that got me just as excited. Would drink again if someone else was buying.
That almond thing is gorgeous
I'm not usually a big white wine person but this converted me for an evening. There's this amazing almond-pastry thing going on alongside the pear that I wasn't expecting at all. Really smooth and the finish just keeps going. Treated myself and no regrets.
Really elegant white
Picked this up for my wife's birthday dinner and we both really enjoyed it. Lovely pear flavour and something almost nutty going on, like almonds? The finish goes on forever which was nice to just sit and enjoy. Only gripe is £120 is steep — I'd want to save it for a proper occasion.
Solid Meursault
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something special for a dinner party. It's good — creamy texture, nice fresh acidity so it doesn't feel heavy, and a smoky finish that lingers. My guests enjoyed it. Not sure I'd rush to buy another bottle at that price though.
