Jobard describes his young 2004s as "supple, sweet wines that will be very pleasant young. They don't have the acidity of '02 or '99 or '96, but they're perhaps a bit higher in acid than the '00s." Jobard told me he harvested very late, with potential alcohols around 13%. Little chaptalization was required for the Meursaults, he added, and with 5% or less of the fruit affected by oidium he felt he didn't need to do a selection. Like a number of his neighbors on the Cote d'Or, Jobard believes that 2003s that were bottled late will retain their freshness longer and age better, provided they had the requisite material in the first place. I did not have the chance to taste Jobard's negociant offerings, as they were aging in another cellar.
