Terroir, History & Acclaim
Critical Recognition:
Burghound [91] pts
- 91 Points (Outstanding Top Value) - Burghound (Allen Meadows): Once again there is a plenitude of floral elements suffusing the nose of white orchard fruit and citrus confit scents. The rich, vibrant and encompassing middleweight flavors possess solid density and volume before terminating in a softly austere and sneaky long finale. This lovely effort could use more depth but that's what cellaring is for.
- The Renowned Les Levrons Terroir: Located on the lower slopes of the Puligny-Montrachet village, *Les Levrons* borders the premier cru vineyards and features clay-limestone soils rich in fine gravel. This specific positioning allows the old vines to draw excellent mineral definition while soaking up abundant sunshine, resulting in a village wine known for its remarkable density, structure, and depth.
- Patrick Javillier's Precision Elevage: Based in Meursault, Domaine Patrick Javillier is legendary for its fastidious, long barrel-aging regimens and mastery of fine lees contact. The wine is aged carefully in French oak barrels to gently round its broad fruit flavors, ensuring a seamless integration of delicate wood spices without masking the high-toned freshness and classic limestone transparency of Puligny.
Highlights
- 100% Chardonnay hand-harvested from old-vine plots in the exceptional Les Levrons lieu-dit of Puligny-Montrachet.
- A highly regarded, limited village-level white Burgundy that easily punches well above its weight class.
- Earned a coveted "Outstanding Top Value" designation from Allen Meadows at Burghound.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Bright, pale gold core with clean, glittering silver reflections.
- Nose: Fresh, layered, and beautifully detailed. It opens with gentle notes of sliced lemon, white peach, and anisette, neatly framed by subtle baking spices and a light, flinty mineral reduction.
- Palate: Bone-dry, medium-bodied, and beautifully detailed. The entry reveals a delicious fruit density that quickly opens across a textured, finely woven mid-palate. A lively, high-spirited line of acidity maintains superb balance, driving the wine into a notably dry, clean, and energetic finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 10–12°C. Avoid serving it ice-cold, as the detailed texture and intricate baking spice elements need a gentle chill to expand fully in the glass.
- Decanting: A brief 20-to-30 minute decant is recommended if opening anytime soon to clear the youthful mineral reduction and let the stone fruit layers open up. This bottle has excellent balance built to cellar gracefully over the next 5 to 8 years.
- Western Pairing: Pan-seared sea bass, roasted chicken breast with a light white wine sauce, grilled scallops, or a mild mushroom tart.
- Asian Pairing: Steamed scallops with garlic and glass noodles, wok-fried crystal shrimp dumplings, or traditional Cantonese roasted goose.
