2024 Bourgogne Côte d’Or Blanc Cuvée des Forgets Patrick Javillier
£130.00 In Bond-
Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2025
Of Javillier’s two Bourgogne Blancs, this is undoubtedly the most Meursault in style; the vineyards’ clay-rich soils impart an opulence and roundness to the palate. Due to the cooler conditions, the 2024 is a little less flamboyant than in some vintages, but still maintains its vibrant approachability, with flavours of spice, fresh croissant and a finish of zesty tangerine. A very lovely style.

JMO, November 2025, Score: 86-87
Mid lemon yellow. Quite a soft ripe fruit, succulent, the fruit is ripe in terms of phenolics. Ripe citrus and passion fruit. Middleweight and length, one of the softer wines this year. Drink from 2027-2029.

2024 Bourgogne Côte d’Or Blanc Cuvée Oligocène Patrick Javillier
£145.00 In Bond-
Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2025
The unidentical twin of Cuvée des Forgets, Oligocène has zest, energy and minerality thanks to the vineyards being closer to Puligny Montrachet, where a greater limestone content contributes to its vivacity. Aromas of lime and lemon sorbet, the dry citrus core sits perfectly alongside a surprisingly rich, creamy finish. So much more than just a simple Bourgogne Blanc!

JMO, November 2025, Score: 87-88
A fullish lemon yellow. Less opulent, slightly more limestone on the nose. The fruit is ripe here as well, yet much more orchard fruit in style, with more of a backbone, pure white fruit through the middle with some ripe pear at the very back. Fills the mouth, staying fresh enough, and very persistent. Drink from 2027-2030.

2024 Meursault Clos du Cromin Patrick Javillier
£295.00 In Bond-
Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2025
Sitting close to the border of Volnay, Clos du Cromin’s combination of warm, south-east-facing slopes and the clay-dominant soils results in a more flamboyant expression of Meursault. The aromatics are notable from the off, redolent of warm brioche and clotted cream. This a more refined and subtle style of Cromin than some years, flows beautifully across the palate, with a graceful, lingering finish.
-
JMO, November 2025, Score: 89-91
Pale in colour, at first with little bouquet then some white pears emerge. More chiselled on the palate but there is a little additional density of fruit, with a fresh citrus note right at the back. Just the right degree of flesh to cover the stones. Drink from 2028-2032.

2024 Meursault Les Tillets Patrick Javillier
£295.00 In Bond-
Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2025
Seven separate parcels go into this cuvée, all of which are situated on the higher slopes of Meursault. There is a lot of rock at the top of the hill, which gives Les Tillets its signature minerality and distinguishes it from the other Meursault cuvées in Javillier’s repertoire. With satisfying aromatics of pain au raisin, this is a wine with excellent volume. The exuberant creamy richness and vanilla pod notes are held perfectly together by a lift of minerality as the final impression.

JMO, November 2025, Score: 90-92
I didn’t need to be told that this was Les Tillets: as soon as I put my nose in the glass the lime blossom emerged. Excellent fruit on the attack, which powers on through the middle towards a crisp finish in support of the undoubted flesh. This is just right, and very persistent. Drink from 2028-2034.

2024 Meursault Les Clousots Patrick Javillier
£340.00 In Bond-
Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2025
The playfully named Les Clousots is not a lieu-dit in its own right, but rather a combination of two separate vineyards: Les Clous and Les Crotots. Each vineyard contributes to this classic Meursault, the former bringing depth and intensity and the latter a freshness and vitality. Rewarding scents of honeysuckle, and crème anglaise open a lovely, harmonious wine, with creamy richness and flavours of nutmeg and squeezed pink grapefruit. Marion and Pierre-Emmanuel might not have a Premier Cru, but, with its complexity and power, Les Clousots is as good as any top-level Meursault.
2024 Meursault Cuvée Tête de Murger Patrick Javillier
£430.00 In Bond-
Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2025
Pierre-Emmanuel has a knack for blending different climats, and Tête de Murger is the finest example of his skillset. Made by combining the hilly Les Casse-Têtes with Murger de Monthélie near Volnay, hints of fudge and clotted cream lift out of the glass. The palate has the characteristic volume one expects in the finest Meursault, but with a taut structure from the rocky soils and a natural intensity. Always the cuvée which ages the longest, this will make fine old bones.

JMO, November 2025, Score: 90-93
Mid lemon yellow. The bouquet suggests intensity to follow without really giving up much detail. This has the most structure of all the Javillier Meursaults, ripe apple with a certain crunch. Pure white fruit at the back of the palate with some candied citrus also at the finish. The most imposing of the Meursaults. Drink from 2029-2035.
