2024 Meursault Tête de Murger, Patrick Javillier

2024 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 2024 it shows structure and grip that are more akin to a premier cru than a village wine.

Tasting notes

Mid lemon yellow. The bouquet suggests intensity to follow without really giving up much detail. This has the most structure of all the Javillier Meursaults, ripe apple with a certain crunch. Pure white fruit at the back of the palate with some candied citrus also at the finish. The most imposing of the Meursaults. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Nov 2025.
