Among the new developments here: Jobard has 77 ares of Meursault Narvaux as of 2008, and beginning with 2011 the domain will be officially organic. On my June visit I focused on the 2007s from bottle as the 2008s were in mid-malo. Jobard described 2007 as a generous year, having yielded wines with "a lot of nervosite but also a lot of material." But he would not have said that during their elevage, he told me. "Early on, I compared 2007 to 2004, but now I think they're more like the 2005s in their length on the palate, even if they're not quite as hard on the attack," he explained. Jobard began harvesting on September 1, with what he described as "correct" sugar levels. He wondered out loud if he would have benefitted from picking five days later-or would have gotten flat wines. Based on my tasting in June, he made a good choice.
