Patrick Javillier, Meursault
Han er oprindelig uddannet inden for el, men uddannede sig siden til ønolog og overtog familiens vinbrug. Han er stærkt engageret i kælderarbejdet og giver bl.a. sine hvidvine lang tids lagring sur lie for at kunne give vinene et efterfølgende langt liv.
The 2018 Meursault Les Tillets has a clean, well-defined bouquet with yellow plum, hazelnut and light waxy aromas developing in the glass. The palate is well balanced with orange rind and lemon zest on the entry. This is quite a phenolic Meursault, one that is well balanced with a complex finish befitting a vineyard like Les Tillets. Recommended. - Neal Martin
Sexy, restrained aromas of yellow peach and spices, with a note of lime emerging with air. Then juicy and sharply chiseled on the palate, showing more citrus than yellow fruits and a repeating spicy character. A firm spine of acidity and minerality gives this leanish wine clarity and lift and draws out the finish. Production here was around 50 hectoliters per hectare, or "close to normal," according to Marion Javillier. I like this style. - Stephen Tanzer
Tight, pure aromas of lime, white peach, minerals and crushed rock. Doesn't offer quite the urgent intensity or early balance of the Clos du Cromin, but insidious ripe acidity and a dusty, tactile quality give shape to the sweet lime and stone fruit flavors. This is lower in acidity and higher in pH than the Clos du Cromin. - Stephen Tanzer
