Terroir, History & Acclaim
Critical Recognition:
Jasper Morris MW 90-92 pts
- 90-92 ★★★★☆ Points - Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy): East facing, 400m long rows, on a steep slope so there is a huge difference between the top, which is straight on the limestone rock, and the bottom. All parts are picked together. The vineyard was replanted in 2003 with top pinot clones from the ATVB selection, though on 161/49 rootstock. The 2024 has a fine density of magenta colour. It delivers a bundle of energy with a juicy quality, yet backed by a rounded density. Good acidity once again. They have got this exactly right. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted Sep 2025.
- The Premier Cru Bois Chevaux Terroir: Located in the heart of Givry, Premier Cru "Bois Chevaux" sits on a east-facing hillside featuring thin clay topsoil over hard limestone bedrock. This shallow soil forces deep vine rooting, endowing the Pinot Noir with high-toned floral aromatics and chiseled minerality.
- Benchmark Excellence by Domaine Joblot: Widely celebrated as the undisputed master of Givry, Domaine Joblot practices rigorous vineyard management, low yields, and meticulous parcel-by-parcel vinification. Aged in fine French oak, their 1er Cru bottlings consistently rival grander Grand Côte d'Or appellations in quality and precision.
Highlights
- 100% Pinot Noir harvested from estate Premier Cru vines in Givry, Côte Chalonnaise.
- A radiant 2024 release bursting with fresh red cherries, wild raspberries, rose petals, and limestone minerality.
- Crafted by Domaine Joblot, offering 8 to 12+ years of cellar evolution.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Bright ruby-red with brilliant crimson highlights at the rim.
- Nose: Perfumed and lifted. It opens with aromas of crunchy red cherries, wild strawberries, and red plums, complemented by floral rose petals, crushed limestone, and subtle fine spice.
- Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and precise. The entry delivers a vibrant wave of red berry sap that glides across silky, fine-grained tannins, supported by fresh acidity and a long, chalky mineral finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–16°C to highlight its bright red fruit purity and floral aromatics.
- Decanting: A brief 20-to-30 minute aeration before serving helps uncoil its fruit layers. Enjoy now through 2036+.
- Western Pairing: Roast duck breast, pan-seared pork loin, grilled salmon, or wild mushroom risotto.
- Asian Pairing: Peking duck, Char Siu (barbecue pork), Taiwanese braised pork, or steamed soy-sauce chicken.
