Un meursault très bien équilibré. Il est dans une bonne fenêtre de consommation. L’acidité est bien balancée et la puissance encore au rendez-vous. Les saveurs d’agrumes sont délicates.

(from memory) Pale gold, acacia flower, lemon and butterscotch on the nose, tart but full palate of citrus, almond paste, medium acidity with wet stone notes, finishes with a touch of wood, burnt butter, orchard fruits and orange blossom

Straightforward, though classic, Les Tillets Meursault from Javillier, ready to go today. White golden in appearance. Nose - shy - brings citrus, green & yellow pome fruits, a vague whiff of yellow & white flowers & nuts. Palate is decidedly medium-bodied, still fresh though acidity on the low calm side, somewhat linear in its pureness, elegant but with a fairly low level of complexity, flavours v much echoing nose with lemon & a distinct minerality throughout, chalky & carefully delicate brief finish. Fine glass!

(From a half). Pronounced yellow; initial butterscotch tones calm down, cleans up but old school profile; advanced palate, over the top, retains refreshing acidity. I left this too long.

This is for the "Tillets-Selection Alfio Moriconi" cuvée. Needed to come up to temperature to show off its lovely length. Not complex but persistent. You'd never mistake it for new world, in that it's reserved and has a nice spine, but I don't think it's quite worth the price.

Similar to my last tasting note with one exception. The wine seems to have put on a bit of weight over the last couple of year with a silkier mouthfeel. Of course it is possible this was just some bottle variation given the sample size of 2. Nice value.

Dopo quasi 3 anni non ho ritrovato il vino bevuto a dicembre del 2018. Il vino come anche il tappo mi sono sembrati comunque integri, la bottiglia è sempre rimasta coricata in un luogo fresco.
Scomposto, "greve", nessun elemento che identificasse un Meursault decente. Come vino in se non era male, ma come meursault non c'era proprio.
Credo che aspettare non serva. Bere.

Reticent nose, leans floral and steely. Very nice acidity and a bit lean but in a refreshing way. Definitely food friendly. The finish is just a tad bitter citrus, but again not in an unpleasant way. Probably can use a couple more years in bottle.

Molto buono ma chiaramente molto giovane; troppo giovane. C'è ancora un sacco di roba che si deve integrare, e presumo lo farà. Non toccare per almeno altri 3 anni. Meglio 5.

Been a while since I drank this. It was very nice though, going for more.

My bottle has a strong nose of honey and roasted hazelnut, with an oily and persistent palate. It’s ready now.

A bit closed for the moment, would leave alone for a while longer. Good buttery texture but reticent on the nose.
