Pommard 1er Cru, Domaine Jean Javillier 2023

Domaine Jean Javillier, Meursault

Situated in the village of Meursault. There are 7.5 hectares in all (4ha red, 3ha white and .5ha Aligoté) and the estate has been registered as organic since 1972. Today the estate is run by Alain Javillier who inherited the estate form his father, Jean - the driving force behind the estate's conversion to organics. Yields are eye-wateringly low and fermentation is short (at an average of 12 days). Only naturally occurring yeasts are used and the wines are aged in old oak barrels for 12-14 months. 

Redcurrants, strawberry, clove, kernel. Grippy berry notes over roasted tomato, vanilla, pepper, spice. Tight, green and lean finish. High acidity. Opens up later to a gamey mix of raspberries, tomatoes, violets, and sage. Not the most put together of vintages but well made wine.

Grape: Pinot Noir
