The 2014 Meursault Les Tillets has a very perfumed nose with lime flower, citrus fruit and cold limestone scents that possess more vigour that Javillier's other 2014s. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a citric thread of acidity. Plenty of energy here, quite linear at the moment, but there is commendable precision on the malic finish that leaves the mouth fresh and wanting more.

The 2013 Meursault les Tillets saw 30% new oak (Patrick explained how he believes that new wood suits crus from more limestone soils.) It has a pure, energetic bouquet with lime flower and limestone scents that disguise that new wood with some style. The palate is well balanced and harmonious, the wood here a little more conspicuous, though that will be assimilated with time. It certainly rounds out the finish and lends it a more modern sheen, but it renders it very smooth and irresistible.
