Jobard’s Charmes is a tiny blend from both Les Charmes-Dessus and the lower Dessous sector, from holdings that total a minuscule 0.24 hectares. Two-thirds of Jobard’s vines are rooted in the higher Charmes-Dessus, which Jobard says “brings a lot of minerality, a lot of freshness, because of all the limestone. We’re very much on rocks.” The fruit from Dessous brings the flesh and stuffing. Vine age varies; the key holding is a parcel directly below Les Perrières that was planted in 1963, although Jobard estimates the average age would work out at around 30 years. Just two barrels were made this year. Without doubt, it is one of the benchmarks of this vineyard and, as we have so little, the less we say about the wine itself, the better!
