Juliette Joblot wines: fine wines from Burgundy in Givry
Domaine JOBLOT is located in Givry in the Côte Chalonnaise: a star of the appellation and a trusted name in Burgundy for more than 20 years. Highly sought after by wine lovers, the estate’s wines are arguably the best in Givry! The vineyard covers 14 hectares, primarily devoted to red Burgundy, with 11 hectares of Pinot Noir and 3 hectares devoted to white Burgundy. The estate also emphasizes that proximity is key to caring for its vines: "We make sure to minimize the distance between each stage of production to protect the fruit and its qualities from vineyard to cellar."
Charles Joblot, father of Jean-Marc and Vincent, was instrumental in establishing the Givry AOC, which was said to be Henri IV’s favorite wine. Today, Juliette Joblot heads the estate. She fully succeeded her father, Jean-Marc Joblot, and her uncle, Vincent Joblot, in 2012, and has gradually brought her own vision and influence to the vinification of Domaine Joblot’s various cuvées.
A quality that reflects the estate’s exacting standards: high planting density, low yields, destemming, and native yeasts.
Great wine begins in the vineyard, so the quality of the tannins and the freshness of the fruit take priority. The harvest is timed through repeated tastings of the grapes, guided by their acidity and balance, and is completed fairly early, within seven to eight days at most. The grapes are vinified with as little intervention as possible, producing wines of rare freshness—a hallmark of the estate’s wines. The style centers on pure fruit, roundness, charm, and elegance!
The estate offers a beautiful collection of Premiers Crus as well as village-appellation wines. There are no fewer than seven Givry Premiers Crus: five reds and two whites.
The reds are Joblot Givry Premier Cru Bois Chevaux, Joblot Givry Premier Cru Servoisine, Joblot Givry Premier Cru L'empreinte, Joblot Givry Premier Cru Clos Marole, and Joblot Givry Premier Cru Cellier Aux Moins; the whites are Joblot Givry Premier Cru En Veau and Joblot Givry Premier Cru Mademoiselle.
The slopes face south to southeast, with clay-limestone soils and a high planting density. Domaine Joblot’s wines impress with their tension and superb mineral backbone, in both red and white. The Premier Cru cuvées are aged for 12 months, with around 40–50% new barrels. The aim is always to limit the influence of oak and preserve freshness while highlighting the minerality of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Trained as an enologist, Jean Marc Joblot had championed Domaine Joblot since 1979, with help in the vineyards from his brother Vincent, who joined him in 1986. Wine lovers seeking excellent value in Burgundy knew the estate’s outstanding reputation. Juliette Joblot, now at the head of the family estate, is gently evolving its style while continuing its tradition of excellent wines. She is also using a lighter touch in aging the estate’s whites, bringing them even greater elegance and finesse.
Among the Premiers Crus that have helped establish Domaine Joblot’s reputation, the “Servoisine” cuvée comes from one of Givry’s finest sites, with clay-limestone soil and a due-south exposure. Its refinement and depth offer all the complexity of a Côte de Nuits Premier Cru, with a deep, complex, and powerful nose. Fruit and spice burst from the glass and continue to evolve toward a pronounced minerality. On the palate, the wine shows impressive power, refinement, and complexity, with exceptionally elegant tannins and a very long finish. It has aging potential of at least 10 to 12 years.
Joblot’s “Cellier aux moines” Premier Cru neighbors “La Servoisine.” It too comes from an exceptional site, on the upper part of a due-south-facing clay-limestone slope. The vines are around 35 years old, and the wine spends about a year in oak: 50% new barrels and 50% previously used barrels. Its color is dark, deep, and concentrated. The nose offers ripe blackcurrant, kirsch-soaked cherries, and fairly pronounced spice notes. The palate is smooth and captivating, leading to a delicious, airy finish in perfect balance. A wine of remarkable finesse, it can be kept for at least 10 years.
The red “Pied de Chaume” Premier Cru comes from stony, marl-limestone soils. Through meticulous work in the vineyard and careful control of yields, Juliette Joblot has brought this cuvée to the forefront of the Côte Chalonnaise. The wine is charming and balanced, with toasted and fruity notes. A smooth, generous, well-balanced palate gives way to a magnificent, lingering finish of black fruit.
The Clos Marole Premier Cru comes from 40-year-old vines! It has a beautiful ruby color and pure aromas of red and black fruit. The supple, luscious, fruit-driven palate is structured by a hint of forest floor and fine, elegant tannins.
