TN: 02 Javillier Meursault Les Clous, 99 Leroy Meursault

Really just one tasting note, as the 99 Leroy was oxidized… perhaps marginally drinkable when first opened but we were looking for something decent with some halibut and veggies, so I opened this:

  • 2002 Domaine Patrick Javillier Meursault Les Clous - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault (8/9/2009)
    This took a couple of hours to unwind. Effusive nose of truffles, honey, flowers, stones and rich fruit. Medium bodied, concentrated, good acidity, very good length. This has great typicity, a classic combo of weight and cut, is quite aromatic and quite long. Sure, it could be a bit more pure or from a better vineyard, but for what it is, there is nothing to fault. Also, I am happy to note that this is my 4th bottle of 02 Javillier with no premox problems as of yet (knock on wood).

Josh,
Last week I had a few bottles of 2000 Javallier, Mersault “Cuvee Tete de Merger”. It was also showing well, I feel that it is at its peak of evolution.
