Domaine de la Jobeline Allure Macon-Verze 2019

For as many years as I’ve had a restaurant, I’ve been ordering wines from Domaine Leflaive for my wine list. They’re a true iconic Burgundian producer who many will tell you simply makes the best white wines in the world. You can find them in more than half the Michelin starred list throughout the world.

But recently, Leflaive has increased their holdings, especially in the budding Mâcon-Verzé, and they did it by purchasing another of Burgundy’s treasured sites, Domaine de la Jobeline. Jobeline has been making gorgeous white burgundies for years.

The 2019 Domaine de la Jobeline Allure Mâcon-Verzé is actually a follow-up to the 2018 vintage which Decanter gave a whopping 96-point score to at their annual Awards competition. For one of greatest Burgundy vintages of all time though, they didn’t even bother submit the sample for a score. It doesn’t matter. The allocation has completely vanished as soon as it was released. Luckily, we’ve been locked into this deal for months.
