The 2014 Meursault Les Clousots has a crisp, stony, Chablis-like bouquet with hints of chalk dust and blackberry leaf. I like the definition and the nuance here. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with real salinity here that cleanses the mouth. Moderate weight, again Chablis-like towards the finish--this is a beautifully crafted Meursault punching at premier cru levels.

The 2013 Meursault les Clousots has a more reticent bouquet compared to Javillier's other crus – a little timid at the moment. The palate is balanced, but it is just missing that extra level of complexity compared to say, the Tillets. Perhaps a case of fluffing its lines on the day?
