- The Introduction to Domaine Joblot: "Préface" is crafted as an inviting introduction to the estate's lineup, sourced from younger estate vines across their village and Premier Cru holdings in Givry. Growing in limestone-rich soils, it embodies the house style's pure fruit clarity with immediate drinkability.
