Like Les Clousots, this is a blend of two sites in Meursault rather than a single lieu-dit. It is a combination of Les Casses Têtes and Les Murgers de Monthélie. This cuvée has been bottled since 1996, and is a foundation of the Javillier range. It is always the most direct and driven of the range. In 2022, there is open and particularly vibrant expression on the striking finish. As ever, very elegant, mineral and refined.
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. Tasted: October 2023.
