Michel Gros Hautes Cotes de Nuits Blanc Fontaine St Martin 2022
Wine Safari Score: 88-91/100 Greg Sherwood MW. Taut yellow stone fruit aromatics lead to a sleek supple palate with plenty of yellow citrus fruit concentration, a hint of caramelised fig, green melon and a delicate tarte tatin richness on the finish. Really attractive and seductive and ready to drink on release.

Javillier Meursault Les Tillets 2022
*All prices in bond* 88-92 pts, 4 stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy A light green tint in the colour, with a fresh and floral nose, as always with a touch of lime blossom. Fine energy on the palate without putting on too much flesh, indeed medium bodied, quite an elegant hillside Meursault. Drink from 2026-2031.

Javillier Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022
*All prices in bond* 93-95 pts 4 Stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy This is still in barrel, unracked. Pale primrose, the bouquet is less easy to discern at this stage, with a minor oxidative note and some reduction. Put that to one side.
White
Javillier Bourgogne Blanc Oligocene 2022
*All prices in bond* 87-89 pts 4 stars Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy A similar colour, pale primrose perhaps. A little bit crisper and more classic in bouquet. Delicious white fruit, very balanced, feel the limestone, enough flesh yet with precision as well. A longer and more mineral finish than Forgets.

Javillier Meursault Clos du Cromin 2022
*All prices in bond* 88 - 90 pts, 3 Stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Pale lemon colour. Not much nose in these small glasses. There is good tension here on the palate, a crisp lemon note along with some fresh apples. Not immediately intense but with good length. A little touch of the positive youthful bitters.
White
Javillier Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée Forgets 2022
*All prices in bond* 86 - 88 3 Stars, Jasper Morris, MW, Inside Burgundy Mid lemon and lime, restrained nose. A little bit of honeysuckle and musk here, but a significant concentration of fruit on the palate, with a density of texture. Plenty of wine to work with here. Drink from 2024-2027. Tasted: October 2023.
