Burgundy, France
Javillier Cuvee Oligocene 2010
Pack of 12 x 750 ml Bottle
Jancis Robinson's Wine of the Week, 20 Jan 2012: Think of this wine as a particularly well-priced Meursault. It has the most wonderful combination of richness and tension with great lusciousness, not a sign of the sort of lack of juice that plagues a few 2010 white burgundies. It benefits from both racy acidity and the structure to last..
Oligocene is made from 30-year-old vines in Les Pellans lieu-dit to the west of Meursault village towards Puligny which, unusually, is classified partly in the Meursault appellation and partly as Bourgogne Blanc. He is lucky enough to have 0.75 ha of Les Pellans - enough to make this wine in reasonable quantity, and the mineral-infused wine is so called because the vineyard is based on ancient Oligocene deposits under brown limestone. (Jancis Robinson Purple Pages, 20 Jan 2012).
