Description
Patrick Javillier is now one of Meursault's best growers. Patrick is one of the most reflective of white wine makers, the walls of his cellars and the sides of his barrels being covered in chalk where he has been developing one or another of his theories. He is absolutely persuaded that long élévage on the lees is essential for the future development of the wine in bottle. Most of the wines are taken out of barrel after a year, then matured further in tank on their fine lees.
The domaine has six parcels in this vineyard, totalling 1.7 hectares, with vines between 30 and 70 years old. Always floral and racy with gorgeous texture and roundness. Never a heavy Meursault, the wine is open and expressive.
Jasper Morris 92 points - "Mid lemon yellow, with a most attractive ripe fruit nose, still with its characteristic hint of lime blossom. Splendid energy on the palate, with a hillside thread providing limestone clarity, and just a little fresh pepper at the finish. In bottle." Drink from 2027-2031. Tasted Dec 2024.
