Patrick Javillier Meursault Cuvee Tete de Murger, Cote de Beaune 2024

Cuvée Tête de Murger marries two Meursault climats: Les Casse-Têtes, on the classic east-facing slopes between Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet with very little topsoil, and Les Murgers de Monthelie on the Volnay side, where 80 cm of clay lies over volcanic rock. The vigour and mineral drive of Casse-Têtes meet the fullness and length of Les Murgers, giving a harmonious wine with a prolonged finish that clearly expresses its origins. This is a Meursault built for ageing, with a potential of 8–10 years. Serve at 11–13 °C with shellfish or fine fish.
