Javillier Meursault Tillets 2004

The southern portion of Burgundy, the Cotes du Beaune is home to the other great Chardonnay wines in the world; Chablis is the other. The wine is generally aged in oak barrels and the fruit is usually riper giving fuller, rounder wines. Sites within the commune vary dramatically in quality and prices. The wines at Premier Cru level and above should be nutty, buttery and toasty, but with racy acidity and often hints of unusual mineral and stony flavours. These are white wines that can reward cellaring for between 5 and 15 years.

Expert Review

90 Points - "Complex aromas of lemon and white flowers. Sweet, slightly high-toned and brisk, with expressive lemon and spice flavors and an enticing floral element. Very fresh, classic and dry, with a juicy quality on the finish that perks up the salivary glands. Like the Clos du Cromin, this is still shocked by the bottling but its freshness and class are obvious."
