About Winery
The Jobard family has cultivated vines in Meursault since the late 1800s, passing the estate through five generations. François Jobard began working alongside his father Pierre in 1957, later inheriting part of the domaine when it was divided between him and his brother Charles (whose share became Domaine Rémi Jobard). François established his reputation by bottling his own wines in the 1970s, crafting Meursaults admired for their austerity, longevity, and faithful expression of terroir. In 2002, his son Antoine joined, and by 2005 had taken over winemaking, gradually evolving the domaine into Domaine Antoine Jobard. While Antoine introduced subtle refinements in viticulture and cellar practices, he remained committed to his father’s hallmark style—producing structured, mineral-rich whites from premier vineyards like Meursault En la Barre and Genevrières. Today, Domaine Antoine Jobard is regarded as one of the most respected producers in Meursault, with wines praised for their purity, depth, and ability to age gracefully.

About Winery
The Leclerc family’s winemaking story began when René Leclerc started bottling wines under his own name in the mid-1970s, quickly earning recognition as one of Burgundy’s most skilled craftsmen. Known for his philosophy of making wine from experience rather than technical manipulation, René built a reputation for consistently producing expressive, fruit-forward Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin. Today, his son François, trained both in France and the United States, works closely with him to carry forward this artisanal approach. Together, they craft wines under both the René Leclerc and François Leclerc labels, using traditional methods such as gentle pressing to emphasize purity of fruit and terroir. With François gradually assuming leadership, the domaine remains firmly rooted in Gevrey-Chambertin’s heritage while embracing continuity across generations.

The 2019 Hans Family Estate “Secret of Marlborough” Montepulciano is a powerful yet elegant expression of this late-ripening Italian grape grown in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. Crafted from organically farmed, low-yield vines (less than 1 kg per vine), the wine shows remarkable concentration and complexity. On the nose, it offers alluring aromas of dark cherries, blueberries, and plums, lifted by floral notes of violets and enriched with hints of chocolate and spice. The palate is multi-layered and sumptuous, combining richness with finesse, supported by 24 months of maturation on fine lees in French barriques (30% new) and a further 18 months of bottle aging. With 14% alcohol, natural fermentation, and no fining or filtration, it delivers depth, purity, and a long, resonant finish—an impressive New World take on Montepulciano that balances strength with elegance.

THE J LOHR STORY
Fifty years ago, Jerry Lohr embarked on a career change. What followed would reshape the landscape of the California wine industry and create one of the country’s most popular wine brands.
In the late 1960s, Jerry Lohr began an extensive investigation of California grape growing regions – searching for the ideal location for his first vineyard. Jerry was raised on a South Dakota farm; his agricultural roots armed him with an innate sense for the relationship between climate, soil, and location. His research and instincts led him to the Central Coast, an area just beginning to explore its potential for winegrowing.
Four decades ago, the California Central Coast had not yet emerged as one of North America’s world-class winegrowing regions. With little history or viticultural precedent, planting on the Central Coast was a gamble. One of a handful of early pioneers, Jerry Lohr was among the first to realize the inherent potential of Monterey and Paso Robles for producing high quality grapes and superb wines.
PIONEERING MONTEREY AND PASO ROBLES -JERRY LOHR LEGACY-It’s no coincidence that the Central Coast’s emergence as a world class winegrowing region runs parallel with the establishment and growth of J. Lohr Vineyards & Winery. Founder Jerry Lohr is one of the region’s pioneers and has played a larger-than-life role in bringing the area to prominence.
Jerry’s instincts led him to two regions located about 75 miles apart. In the early 1970s, he chose Monterey County’s Arroyo Seco district for its cool, windy climate and rocky soils as ideal for Chardonnay. In the 1980s, he recognized the potential of Paso Robles for growing Bordeaux varietals, especially Cabernet Sauvignon – given the area’s rich soils and dramatic diurnal temperature swings between warm days and cool nights.
After Jerry Lohr’s nearly decade-long search for the right place to plant his first vineyard, he chose a site in Monterey County that was to become the heart of the Arroyo Seco appellation. Jerry originally planted 280 acres in 1972 and 1973 near Greenfield. Monterey County’s Arroyo Seco appellation has proved ideal for growing layered, complex Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Brisk winds and fog off Monterey Bay, stony, well-drained soils, and a lack of damaging fall rains all combine to produce grapes with trademark fruit intensity and balancing acidity. In 1974, Jerry unveiled the first J. Lohr winery in San Jose.
In the early 1980s, Jerry Lohr saw the potential for great Cabernet Sauvignon further south. Borrowing a lesson from the French—that great Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon excel in very different growing conditions—Jerry began planting Cabernet Sauvignon and other red varieties in San Luis Obispo County’s little-known Paso Robles region in 1986. With the hands-on devotion of an artisan farmer, Jerry tended to the vines while diligently working toward the creation and development of an adjacent winery and barreling cellars; J. Lohr’s Paso Robles production facility was opened in 1988.

The 2020 Joseph Drouhin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Marquis de Laguiche" Morgeot Blanc is a magnificent expression of both a warm, solar vintage and one of the village's historic estates. In the glass, it shows an admirable light golden color that boundaries on deep lemon. The nose is instantly aromatic and beautifully complex, offering a perfume of white flowers like hawthorn and jasmine tea, laced with candied lemon, fresh apricot, and a sophisticated touch of blond tobacco. On the palate, the signature rich, voluptuous texture of the 2020 vintage is on full display, delivering an explosive mouthfeel filled with flavors of ripe yellow fruits, pear, and a creamy, almond-brioche richness. Despite this opulent, bold weight, the wine remains remarkably focused and precise, driven by a powerful thread of natural, zesty acidity that prevents any sense of heaviness. It finishes with an exceptional length that leaves lingering notes of mineral grit, spice, and soft wood lactones, marking it as a beautifully balanced Premier Cru built to evolve gracefully over the next 10 to 15 years.
