Tasting notes
Tank sample. Lime and lime leaf on the nose. Ripe green fruits as well as citrus. Creamy and intense on the palate with a long, dry stony finish. Mouth-watering and long. (JH)

The 2018 Meursault Cuvée Tête de Murgers sports one of Javillier’s stricter bouquets, quite Puligny in style with crushed stone and glimpses of mirabelle. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry, hints of liquorice lending a bit of exoticism, especially towards the concentrated finish. Very fine, although I find the Les Tillets has more nobility.
More notable, creamy oak that the Les Clousots, with lemon rind and flint, spice and stones. Nice balance between richness and freshness. Pretty long too. (TJ)
