Domaine Antoine Jobard’s 2020 Pommard Village marks the Meursault-based producer’s continuing move into red Burgundy following the 2019 purchase of Domaine Mussy holdings in Pommard. The estate, long associated with white wines, is now working with key Pommard sites, and in 2020 it took what Burgundy-Report described as a “non-interventionist route” in a vintage defined by heat, dryness, and an unusually early harvest (Jobard began picking on 18 August, the earliest on record for the domaine).

This is a Pinot Noir Pommard Village assembled from three lieux-dits (with a separate Epenots 1er Cru also produced). Alcohol is reported at 13.0%. The style is clearly geared toward precision over sheer weight, though the year’s ripeness still shows.

Vinous (Neal Martin) delivered the strongest published assessment here, rating it 92 points—an excellent review for a village-level Pommard. He calls the bouquet “very focused,” noting “a light marine/seaweed scent in the background.” On the palate, Martin finds it “medium-bodied with a mixture of red and black fruit,” finishing “lightly spiced with a touch of white pepper and clove,” adding, “You can feel the energy here,” and concluding: “A Pommard Village from the top drawer.”

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WK) is slightly more reserved at 90+ points, emphasizing the wine’s darker-fruited, more structured side. The review notes that the cuvée is “dominated by climat Petit Noizons,” and describes “notes of dark berries, plums, spices and petals,” followed by “a medium to full-bodied, more muscular and structured palate than his Beaune and Volnay wines.”

Taken together, the critics paint a Pommard that balances ripe 2020 fruit with freshness and drive, offering both aromatic detail and the firmer, more serious profile expected from the appellation.
