2014 Domaine Javillier Cuvée Oligocène

We are fans of Domaine Javillier wines. We are partial to their entry level Bourgogne, Javillier Cuvée des Forgets. The wine is right up our flavor alley and we hope someday to vinify our Chardonnay to achieve a similar style.
We recently had this 2014 Domaine Javillier Cuvée Oligocène, which is a level up from the Cuvée des Forgets. The grapes come from a single vineyard, les Pellans in the commune of Meursault in the direction of Puligny-Montrachet below Meursault Charmes.
What I remember of this Chardonnay is that it was very well balanced with a good amount of acidity. I'll have to update this blog with better tasting notes which I will be able to do since my husband says that we have more of this wine. I'm thinking that we need to share this wine with our friend who is a Chardonnay aficionado who loves Premier Crus like 2009 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes, to see what she thinks.
