Rémi Jobard is one of Meursault's most respected winemakers, diligently producing the archetype of the great Meursault wines in organic farming since 2008: rich, generous and mineral, subtly wooded and perfectly suited to ageing (8 to 15 years).
Isabelle and Denis Pommier started in 1990 with only 2 ha. They have made gradual progress, both in the constitution of their vineyards (now 16 ha) and in their cultivation practices (tillage, disbudding, certified organic from the 2014 vintage). Their wines, vinified and aged for a long time in oak barrels for Croix aux Moines and the 1st crus, have a richness and amplitude that contrast with the usual extreme vivacity of the Chablis.
According to the Bettane & Desseauve 2025 guide, “perhaps the most spectacular growth in the Chablis region over the last fifteen years”.

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 90/100 "More iodine-rich, the Petit Chablis delivers a deep body, faithful to the estate's style, with its salinity giving it length."

The palate is well-balanced with grapefruit and orange pith abd fine acidity, nicely, composed with a simple but quite tensile finish. This is a well-crafted Fourchaume.”

La Revue du Vin de France (October 2024 ): 94/100 “Beautiful purity of northern Pinot, fresh and perfectly ripe. Scintillating fruit. A wine for medium ageing, remarkable for its harmony and relief”.
The philosophy of Domaine Desvignes is simple: respect tradition. Hence a culture without weedkillers, "old-fashioned" vinification and rather long maturations in cement vats only. The result is great structured morgons with a subtle and accomplished structure, and a keeping capacity worthy of the great Burgundies (10 years and more).
Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.
L'Aube à Javernières is a perfect entry-level Desvignes on a parcel of 0.84 ha on the edge of the Morgon appellation (Côte du Py), a frank Beaujolais, easy to drink but with a very present background.

Bourgogne Aujourd'hui (November 2024): 16.5/20 “Vinified with 50% de-stemmed grapes, this cuvée reveals an intense color and a fine, fresh, fruity, spicy nose.... The wine is dense, greedy, coated and silky, with fine balance and finesse”.
Vinous (N. Martin - March 2025): 85-87/100 "The 2023 Beaujolais L'Aube à Javernières, which is close to Côte du Py, has an expressive red cherry-and-strawberry-scented bouquet that becomes more floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, quite strict and linear with straighforward peppery/sour cherry finish. Fine."

The palate is medium-bodied with sapid, black-olive-tinged dark berry fruit, easing off toward the slightly confit-like finish. This is such a cemely Morgon that it will be nearly impossible to resist its youth.”

The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, fine structure and backbone. The sustained finish is probably just beginning to close down for a while. Excellent."
Bourgogne Aujourd'hui (November 2024): 18/20 “Made from 80-year-old vines, with 95% of the grapes vinified whole and aged for 9 months in 30-hl concrete eggs (as for the Les Pierres cuvée), this top-flight Morgon has an intense color, a rich, precise nose of ripe black fruits and spices... Dense, compact, harmonious, long and racy on the palate, perfect for laying down."

Dark berry fruit, licorice and touches of graphite emerge on the nose. This is very complex and beautifully defined, one of thei more cerebral aromatic profiles in this vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly chalky tannins.
