DOMAINE MARC JOMAIN

Philippe, Catherine and Christophe JOMAIN, brothers and sisters, exploit their own winegrowing within a land grouping creates on November 3rd, 1992. The winegrowing includes/understands 9 hectares of vineyard with PULIGNY-MONTRACHET of which 4 hectares produce primarily white great wines of world reputation resulting from the type of vine chardonnay in the appellations village, 1er cru and grand cru. Combining modernism and tradition, the winegrowing is directed with dynamism by the JOMAIN family. Anxious to preserve the environment, the winegrowing follows a program of fight reasoned. The reasoned fight makes it possible to preserve the medical quality of harvests without deteriorating the ecological medium by using only pesticides severely approved and used on a case-by-case basis according to the medical condition of each piece. The efforts bear their fruits because the ecological medium is reconstituted in the vineyard. (Ladybird, small predatory insects, of the harmful spiders of the vine reappear). The vintage is collected manually, the respectful wine making of each appellation is carried out by pneumatic pressing. The wines ferment was of oak in a proportion not exceeding the quarter of new barrel. The traditional maturing and the setting in bottles are carried out with meticulousness without excessive handling of the wines under the narrow control of an approved laboratory of enology. During malo-lactic fermentation the wines are bâtonnés in order to obtain more roundness and of complexity. In spring, the wines then are tapped and clarified by joining, the setting out of bottle intervening generally at the beginning of September.
Puligny-Montrachet First Vintage Combettes 2006 is of a great subtlety, with this very complex bouquet of peach and ripe apricot, a persistent spiced key, a wine all in nuances. Superb 2005, elegant and suave, very traditional, of intense dress, rich with the nose as in mouth, all in aromatic nuances (lime, hazel nut), of excellent evolution. Very beautiful 2004, with aromas of fern, nut and fruits fresh, of a large smoothness, a rich and cordial great wine, with a beautiful persistent and powerful final, to lead to a smoked wild salmon. In the line, this Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Pucelles 2006, of a beautiful harmony, full, with the subtle nuances of apple and dry fruits, suave, rich in mouth (citrus fruits, hawthorn, almond…), of a great maturity, a very promising wine. Their Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Referts 2006, where the sweetness is combined with the distinction, is a wine with much mellow and persistence, of the grilled almond and ripe apple aromas, which it is necessary to appreciate on a kitchen refined like pike quenelles. L' Auxey-Duresses rouge 2002, rich color as out of matter, with the nose of ripe red small fruits and undergrowth, is generous and of very good guard, and the Saint-Aubin Premier Cru blanc Les Frionnes, of beautiful yellow color amber, with the hazel nut notes, of a nice smoothness, combining roundness and vividness, mouthfull.
