2023 Meursault Tête de Murger, Patrick Javillier

2023 Meursault Tête de Murger, Patrick Javillier

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 2023, there is an openness and particularly vibrant expression of Chardonnay on the striking finish. As ever, very elegant, mineral and refined.

Tasting notes

Not yet in bottle. This is significantly more backward. The nose in particular. But then this blend of Casse Tete and Murger de Monthelie is always the most profound. It shows in the density of ripe orchard fruit on the palate, and the energy of the fruit at the finish. The vin de garde among the Meursaults. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Dec 2024.
