Scores

This is also very Meursault in basic character as a deft touch of wood sets off slightly riper aromas of white-fleshed fruit, brown butter and hazelnut nuances. There is good richness but also plenty of punch to the medium-bodied flavors that exude a discreet minerality onto the saline, dry and highly refreshing finish. I really like the refined texture but not that this is going to need at least some patience first. Excellent. Outstanding Top value.

Tasting Notes

At the balanced, fresh and elegant yet “very Meursault”. It is made up of two plots that total just 0.6 hectares with vines averaging 35 years. The names of both plots, Les Clous and Les Crotots, are combined to create Clousots. The former is at the top of an easterly facing hilltop while the latter, heavily frost affected only made 1/5th of the blend, is just beneath 1er cru Les Porusots.

ProducerDomaine Patrick Javillier

Domaine Patrick Javillier is in the heart of Meursault, covering 11 hectares in the Côte de Beaune. The history of the estate traces back to 1945 when Raymond Javillier decided to cultivate 2 hectares of vineyards which had always belonged to the family. When Patrick, Raymond’s son, joined his father in the mid-70s started to work tirelessly to expand the family holdings and elevate the standing of the estate as one of the references in Mersault. Now, the third generation is gradually taking over, helping to craft exciting Chardonnay and Pinot Noir full of energy and verve. See More
