Patrick Javillier, Meursault Clousot Brut Zero Touches of sulfur and reduction

Touches of sulfur and reduction push the mildly exotic aromas of orange peel and melon to the background at present

the 2008 Valpolicella Superiore is fabulous in this vintage

The wine is a powerful and serious blend

deep and tightly wound

Like the Clos de la Roche this too should be approachable after only a few years if that’s your preference

Patrick Javillier, Meursault Clousot Brut Zero Touches of sulfur and reduction(the name is a play on words as this is a . 60 ha blend of two vineyards, Les Clous and Crotots). Here too the wood influence is discreet and easily allows the ripe and airy aromas of apple, pear, olive oil and citrus elements to shine. There is excellent punch and an almost pungent minerality on the youthfully austere and firm finish that exhibits lovely balance. This is a bigger but not finer wine than the Tillets and is also lovely.
