2016 Antoine Jobard 'Les Tillets' Meursault

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2016 Meursault Les Tillets, which lost 40% of its crops due to the frost that was apparently severe toward the treeline, has another crisp and focused bouquet, with a subtle marine influence of cockles shells and oyster neatly complementing the citrus fruit. Again, I like the delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, spicier than I was anticipating with hints of stem ginger and even curry leaf toward the finish. What a very fine Meursault Les Tillets from Antoine Jobard this year. Barrel Sample: 91-93"


Burghound - "Reduction presently dominates the underlying fruit but I doubt that it will last. Otherwise there is a much more refined palate feel to the pure and delicate lighter weight and mineral-inflected flavors that are an exercise in finesse and harmony. This is textbook Tillets and worth checking out. Barrel Sample: 89-91"
