Tasting Notes
-
Goedhuis, December 2020
Javillier’s Bourgogne Oligocène is from the Puligny side of Meursault and therefore a more restrained style than the Forgets. Hints of quince and jasmine, this is gloriously harmonious and feels like a Puligny. Graceful and very pure.

Matthew Jukes, December 2020,
Score: 17.5Deeper and more succulent and layered than Forgets with honey and faint coconut notes which bring exoticism and depth. Superb balance, genuinely racy and pretty, this is a genuine mini-Meursault and it is rather forward, too.
-
Jasper Morris MW, December 2020,
Score: 87-90A touch more yellow to the colour. Solid, impressively rich fruit, but not hot in any way and with excellent acidity. Full, balanced and delicious. Clearly a mini-Meursault. Excellent length. 4 stars

Producer
Domaine Patrick Javillier

Visits to Patrick Javillier’s cellars are always a delight. His enthusiasm and passion for his subject and in particular the wines of Meursault are second to none. Like all great winemakers he has his own views as to how wines should be made and the benefits of ageing both in cask and bottle and everything is thought out meticulously with this in mind. He makes wonderfully textbook wines, which for us are the most perfect reflection of the wines of Meursault. His wines have the natural exuberance that one expects from this the most exotic of the three famous white Côte de Beaune villages, whilst having a complexity of texture that only the very finest vineyards and producers ever seem to produce.
Region
Bourgogne
This blanket regional appellation can apply to wines throughout Burgundy (60% of the area's production) as long as they comply with regulations relating to grape type, yield and alcohol content. Reds and roses are from Pinot Noir or Gamay. Whites are Chardonnay. They are usually the most straightforward of the Burgundy wines, and as a result are the least expensive and the most approachable upon release. In the hands of a more serious producer these can represent exceptional value and quality. The wines are made with the same care and attention to detail as their grander wines. However, they may not qualify for a village or communal appellation because the vines are too young or the vineyard area is outside the appellation boundary.
