Patrick Javillier Bourgogne Côte d'Or Cuvée des Forgets

The palate is bright, citrus‑driven, and lightly creamy, opening with lemon peel, yellow apple, and a touch of apricot. The fruit feels fresh and focused, shaped by the vintage’s naturally brisk acidity. A gentle layer of hazelnut, soft creaminess, and subtle pastry warmth builds through the mid‑palate, giving the wine texture without heaviness. The Meursault‑adjacent origins show in the wine’s rounded, peach‑tinged generosity, even in a cooler year. The finish is clean, lightly buttery, and quietly mineral, tapering with notes of citrus pith, apple skin, and a faint fudge‑like sweetness, leaving an impression of freshness balanced by gentle richness.
