Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (94)Bright yellow. Cool aromas of underripe peach, lichee and cinnamon. Penetrating on entry, then intensely flavored and tactile in the middle palate, with a captivating sweetness to its gripping lemon and stone flavors. Really reverberates on the back end. Offers a lovely acid/sugar balance but this very promising Corton-Charlemagne, like the Meursault Tete de Murgey, will be better for five or six years of bottle aging. (Javillier's single barrel of Meursault Charmes was in the middle of its malolactic fermentation.) |

Burghound (92)A more elegant and slightly more complex broad-ranging nose reflects an assortment of green apple, white flower, pear, mineral reduction and a wisp of oak. The overtly rich, full-bodied and powerful flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the moderately firm acid spine shaping the stony and saline-inflected finale. This too will need at least a few years of patience. |

Vinous (90-92)Pale yellow-straw. Aromas of lemon, lime, nutmeg and clove. Rich but dry and tight, showing little easy sweetness to its slightly aggressive flavors of stone fruits, spices and crushed-stone minerality. Shows a penetrating quality but this baby is still youthfully disjointed, even a touch sour on the end. Very difficult to assess with confidence today but the tight finish displays very good length. |

Vinous (93)(the yield here was a very low 25 hectoliters per hectare owing to hail; no new oak): Inviting high-pitched scents of orange juice, white flowers, ginger and gunflint. Fine-grained and sharply delineated, saturating the palate with youthful flavors of soft citrus fruits, spices and stone. Impeccably balanced but backward today. A lovely essence of Meursault, and an outstanding village wine. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-93)Not yet in bottle. This is significantly more backward. The nose in particular. But then this blend of Casse Tete and Murger de Monthelie is always the most profound. It shows in the density of ripe orchard fruit on the palate, and the energy of the fruit at the finish. The vin de garde among the Meursaults. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Dec 2024. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91)In bottle. An attractive mid lemon yellow. Not as immediately forthcoming as Les Tillets, though still showing a compact white orchard fruit. Fresh apples, quite intense. With a certain crunchiness. Laid back but with plenty in reserve. Drink from 2028-2032. Tasted Dec 2024. |

Burgundy | 1 | 89-92 (VN) | HK$4,160.00 | |||||
Vinous (89-92)(aging in one-third new oak): Sexy, restrained aromas of yellow peach and spices, with a note of lime emerging with air. Then juicy and sharply chiseled on the palate, showing more citrus than yellow fruits and a repeating spicy character. A firm spine of acidity and minerality gives this leanish wine clarity and lift and draws out the finish. Production here was around 50 hectoliters per hectare, or close to normal, according to Marion Javillier. I like this style. |
