Domaine de la Jobeline

The History of Domaine de la Jobeline

Domaine de la Jobeline is nestled in the charming village of Verzé, located in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy. This historic winery boasts an exceptional terroir that enhances the quality of its wines. The estate was founded in 1915 by Claude, who settled in Verzé and began cultivating the land. His son, Paul, expanded the estate, and in 2004, Pierre Maillet took over the family legacy. Today, Domaine de la Jobeline spans over 13 hectares, producing a diverse selection of Burgundian wines that reflect the region's unique character.

Winemaking at Domaine de la Jobeline

In 2014, Pierre Maillet transitioned from a cooperative cellar to establish Domaine de la Jobeline. Since then, he has focused on extensive renovations and replanting efforts to enhance wine quality. The vineyard features grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Aligoté, and Gamay, which are carefully harvested to preserve their freshness. Grapes are pressed within minutes of picking to prevent oxidation and heat damage. Both young and old vines are hand-harvested to ensure only the best grapes are selected. The clay-limestone soil in this region is ideal for vine cultivation, and Pierre works diligently in the vineyard to maintain its natural ecosystem, employing a blend of traditional and modern winemaking techniques.
