My first White Burgundy were from vintner Francois Jobard. I have to say I have yet to have tasting from this vintner I did not flip over. Welcome to heaven on the palate!!
Francois Jobard 2004 Burgogne Blanc (White Burgundy) - This is a classic Chardonnay. Not like what some may think of the Australian or Oregon Chardonnay. There are many complex layers of various swirled citrus, vanilla, oak, and with a wonderfully minerally nature to the wine much NW wine lacks. I have often found Chardonnay to be acrid, chalky, and uneven but this was wonderful. This makes US Chardonnay I have had seem like a cousin thrice removed. However its not inexpensive - $$$$
Next the 2005 Francois Jobard Meursault en la Barre - my oh my! - with flavors and aroma of wet gravel, sour mash, crisp golden apples, mild vanilla, oak, & heaven in a bottle; this one is gonna cost ya - I'd sell my soul for a case of this wine and it would cost that much to get one! $$$$
Both of these wines are imported through Kermitt Lynch Wine Importer - you can look them up online to find a dealer in your area to ask if they have or will be doing tastings of these wonderful burgundy chardonnay grapes done oh so right. Find them and taste them soon before they are all bought up!
