i. Biography

Parcel work in Meursault frames Valentin Jobard's current role at Domaine Jobard-Morey in France, where he has operated the estate with Remi Ehret since taking over in 2013 (with full control from 2016). The estate line dates to 1949, with production now centered on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and village wines handled site by site.

Career Arc

A 5.5-hectare Meursault holding requires close reading of site, vine material, and picking decisions; Valentin Jobard has carried that stewardship forward with Remi Ehret of Domaine Jobard-Morey since taking over in 2013.

The Practice Today

Vineyard-first Meursault is the working method at the 5.5-hectare holding, which Jobard and Remi Ehret have run since taking over in 2013 with wines described as racy and representative of their terroirs. The stated house style—balanced, fresh, old-vine, and minimally interventionist—keeps the emphasis on site expression rather than cellar imprint. Village lieux-dits are central to the domaine's Chardonnay register. Domaine Jobard-Morey Meursault Les Narvaux is among its highly regarded village lieux-dits, while Domaine Jobard-Morey Meursault Les Tillets, another highly regarded village lieu-dit, was reviewed in the 2018 vintage as mineral, citrus-driven, intense, vivid, airy, and fresh. Pinot Noir gives the range a second line of site expression. The Hautes Côtes de Beaune Rouge 2021 is sourced from high-altitude vineyards near Auxey-Duresses and described as light, silky, and delicately perfumed; the Meursault Rouge 2021 is made from Pinot Noir and described as elegant, subtly spiced, with delicate red fruits, fine acidity, and gentle tannins.

Signature

Signature bottlings include Domaine Jobard-Morey Meursault Les Narvaux, Domaine Jobard-Morey Meursault Les Tillets, and Domaine Jobard-Morey Meursault Rouge 2021.

Recognition

Recognition here is tied to named parcels and to how the wines are read in the glass. Les Narvaux and Les Tillets carry the village-level Meursault focus, while the 2021 reds show the Pinot Noir side of the estate through high-altitude fruit, perfume, spice, acidity, and gentle structure. The through-line is practical rather than trophy-led: a family estate, 5.5 hectares, reasoned vineyard work, careful élevage, and bottles assessed through their individual terroirs.
