Winemaker Notes
On the nose, the wine is expressive, lightly wild with notes of red fruits (raspberries). On the palate, one finds again aromas of red fruits and some spice notes as well as fullness with an attractive vivacity. The tannins are present but fairly integrated. This is a supple wine with much freshness.
Serve with red meats like beef or veal, or certain cheeses.
No one else can take you for a walk through Meursault like Patrick Javillier. Tasting through his wines with him requires the utmost concentration. No flip little asides like, "C'est bon," are going to fly with this perfectionist. He has lived with every wine intimately, thought it through, and conducted every imaginable experiment with each one to extract its absolute essense.
Meursault growers are blessed with a lower water table than Puligny, for example, so their wine cellars are deeper. Deeper means cooler, cooler means longer fermentations and more complete, integrated wine.
