BURGUNDY CÔTEDEBEAUNE

MEET THE GROWER Domaine Patrick Javillier MEURSAULT

I tasted with Patrick Javillier back in the early 2000s and, although the quality was very good, apart from the Corton-Charlemagne (which could handle the barrels), they were a little oaky and toasty for my taste – one could say old-school Meursault – and we decided not to take. Roll on ten years and Patrick’s daughter Marion is firmly in control andmaking equally fine wine yet, to my taste, with better balance. Indeed, I gather the Meursaults Clos de Cromins and Clousots see no oak barrique at all and the purity andminerality of the vineyards is abundently apparent and absolutely delicious. We are delighted to have this new estate in our portfolio and are extremely happy to recommend them to you.

Distinct orange peel on the nose. There’s great density here, with distinct finesse. Excellent purity - we liked this verymuch.

A blend of two separate parcels in Les Clousots. There’s a touch of honey and vanilla bean on the nose, with orange peel too. Lovely drive and freshness of the palate. Firmgrip.
