2022 Bourgogne Côte d’Or Blanc Cuvée des Forgets Patrick Javillier
£125.00 In Bond £169.24 Inc VAT (£28.20 Per Bottle)-
Burghound, June 2024, Score: 87
Bright aromas of just sliced citrus, white peach and pretty floral nuances are complemented by delicious middleweight flavors that are supported by lemon-tinged acidity on the vibrant, lingering and refreshing finale. Moreover, this is not your usual 'pop and pour' Bourgogne as it has the legs to repay 4 to 7 years of keeping. Worth checking out.

Mid lemon and lime, restrained nose. A little bit of honeysuckle and musk here, but a significant concentration of fruit on the palate, with a density of texture. Plenty of wine to work with here. Drink from 2024-2027.

GWL, November 2024
This cuvée, from vineyards on the Volnay side of the village, represents a truly Meursault-esque style of Bourgogne Blanc, with characteristically flamboyant fruit. The 2022 is a beautiful representation of this style. Lemon yellow colour, a delicious expression of clementines and mandarins shows off a breadth of ripe fruit, and light, fresh acidity on the finish.

2022 Bourgogne Côte d’Or Blanc Cuvée Oligocène Patrick Javillier
£150.00 In Bond £199.24 Inc VAT (£33.20 Per Bottle)-
Burghound, June 2024, Score: 88
A deft application of wood sets off equally bright and fresh aromas of Granny Smith apple and even more prominent citrus elements that are trimmed in pretty floral nuances. There is a bit more volume to the succulent, sappy and vibrant medium weight flavors that possess slightly more depth and persistence. This cuvée consistently boxes above its weight and blind, this could easily pass for a Meursault-villages wine plus, like the Forgets, it will generously reward cellaring. Buy it.

A similar colour, pale primrose perhaps. A little bit crisper and more classic in bouquet. Delicious white fruit, very balanced, feel the limestone, enough flesh yet with precision as well. A longer and more mineral finish than forgets. Drink from 2025-2029.

A beautiful contrast to the Forgets cuvée, the vineyards for Oligocène sit close to Puligny Montrachet, with a little less topsoil and greater limestone content. The result is a more floral style, with a linear, citrus minerality. Aromas of honeysuckle and fresh pears provide volume and delicious fruit appeal on the finish.

2022 Meursault Clos du Cromin Patrick Javillier
£290.00 In Bond £367.24 Inc VAT (£61.20 Per Bottle)-
Burghound, June 2024, Score: 90
Aromas of hazelnut, orange peel and acacia blossom introduce rich, concentrated and caressing medium-bodied flavors that possess a highly seductive texture while displaying excellent length on the balanced, firm and utterly delicious finale. This could use better depth though so at least a few years of keeping are recommended. Worth considering.

Pale lemon colour. Not much nose in these small glasses. There is good tension here on the palate, a crisp lemon note along with some fresh apples. Not immediately intense but with good length. A little touch of the positive youthful bitters. Drink from 2026-2030.

The warm, south-easterly facing slopes from which this wine is sourced contribute to a wonderfully showy example of Meursault. Quintessential in style, this is creamy and buttery, with a silky richness and gentle freshness. Hedonistic, but not too excess. A little beauty.

2022 Meursault Les Tillets Patrick Javillier
£290.00 In Bond £367.24 Inc VAT (£61.20 Per Bottle)-
Burghound, June 2024, Score: 92
A more elegant and spicier nose features aromas of wet stone, lemon-lime, plenty of floral elements and the barest hint of wood. The racy, beautifully detailed and refined middleweight flavors exude a borderline pungent minerality on the impressively long bitter zest-inflected finish. This is a classic, and entirely superb, Tillets of delicacy and restraint.

A light green tint in the colour, with a fresh and floral nose, as always with a touch of lime blossom. Fine energy on the palate without putting on too much flesh, indeed medium bodied, quite an elegant hillside Meursault. Drink from 2026-2031.

GWL, December 2023
The five parcels that make up this cuvée within the lieu-dit of Les Tillets are situated on the higher slopes of Meursault facing south-east, influencing a more mineral style. This is not an obvious Meursault; thought provoking with refined gentle floral characters, this is harmonious and softly graceful on the finish.

2022 Meursault Les Clousots Patrick Javillier
£335.00 In Bond £421.24 Inc VAT (£70.20 Per Bottle)-
Burghound, June 2024, Score: 93
A restrained, airy and distinctly cool nose somewhat grudgingly offers up its array of just sliced apple, pear, lemon rind and acacia. There is terrific mid-palate density to the equally mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess solid power on the sappy, refreshingly dry and sappy finale. This stunningly good Meursault-villages is very much built to repay extended keeping and is definitely a wine to strongly consider.

Les Clousots is not a lieu-dit in its own right, but rather a combination of two separate vineyards: Les Clousots, higher up in the slopes, and Les Crotots, located beneath the highly regarded Premier Cru Porusots. Such a combination contributes to a classic Meursault. None of this cuvée was made in 2021 owing to the severe frosts of that vintage, so it was wonderful to count 20 casks lined up in the cellar this year, and what a beauty it is! A deeply structured Meursault, with a fragrance of hazelnut and Poruzots chalk. The rich, broad flavours build on the palate with great power and length on the finish. Quite simply excellent.

£440.00 In Bond £547.24 Inc VAT (£91.20 Per Bottle)-

Tête de Murger highlights Pierre-Emmanuel’s skill in blending two different climats within the appellation to create a perfect cuvée; Les Casse-Têtes up in the hills and Murger de Monthélie close to Volnay. Aromas of warm butter and fresh dough underpin flavours of mandarin and quince. A full and generous wine, which will evolve in bottle to highlight all the joys of the appellation. Drink 2025-2035.

Mid lemon and lime colour. The bouquet is strict, backward nose but with promise. This develops beautifully, there is as always so much more muscle on this, and it is a very complete wine, with all the elements properly integrated, including a fine thread of acidity. Drink this and be happy. Drink from 2028-2034.
