Suggestion from January 15 2025
Wine: 2016 Meursault - Cuvée Tête de Murger
Producer: Domaine Patrick Javillier
Comment: There is a mildly phenolic character (think olive oil) to the orange zest, petrol, pear compote and roasted nut scents. There is even better volume and richness to the medium weight flavors that are even a bit more tightly wound on the stony, bone dry and built-to-age finale. This is perhaps not quite as refined as the Clousots but it makes up for it in sheer punch. A qualitative choice.
