Score 90/100 · Drink 2019-2024, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2017

Pale yellow. A bit more exotic on the nose than the Tillets, offering scents of pineapple, citrus peel and dusty stone. Similarly ripe in the mouth, but with its broad lemon and lime flavors given shape by surprising acidity and pungent notes of herbs and stone. Lovely old-vines density and intensity here. The limey finish is dry, fresh and long. Javillier is about to replant a portion of these very old vines.

Broad, rather mainstream nose. Easy but not exciting. (JR)

Score 90-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jun 2016

(picked first in 2015, with potential alcohol of 13.4%): Fresh, high-toned aromas of apple and spearmint lifted by a positive peppery note. Dense, supple and sweet but also sappy and brisk, with its sweet lime flavor accented by green herbs and elevated by nicely integrated acidity. Balanced and long.
