Cuvée des Forgets Bourgogne Blanc 2009;

86/100
A pretty, complex and admirably fresh nose of straw, lemon, and yellow fruit aromas leads to rich and relatively full-bodied flavors that possess plenty of underlying material as well as fine balance and length for a wine at this level. 2013+

A ripe and exceptionally fresh nose features notes of yellow orchard fruit and a pretty floral hint that introduces textured, mouth coating and delicious flavors that are impressively concentrated for a wine at this level. This isn’t an elegant wine but it’s terrific Bourgogne. 2010+

Creamy and mineral citrus. Pretty intense on the nose. And dense on the palate. Tight, firm and really quite powerful. (JH) Drink 2012-2016

Javillier’s 2007 Bourgogne Cuvee des Forgets is as appealing as any vintage of this blend that I can recall, and indeed an outstanding wine for its appellation. Lemon and orange blossom in the nose; Normandy cider tinged with citrus zest and brown spices on a vivacious yet subtly creamy and by no means meager palate; and a long, refreshing finish render this perfectly-proportioned Bourgogne an irresistible glass over the next 2-3 years and an excellent value.
Patrick Javillier began picking on September 3rd, but only finished (with his Savigny) mid-month. He chaptalized lightly, keeping all of the wines under 13%. He thinks his 2007 results capture “the spirit and purity of 1984, but with less acidity, and perhaps a bit that of 1979.” But the wines of Javillier were very different and far less exciting even a dozen years ago than they are today, so in that sense these comparisons are moot. (His favorites for drinking now, by the way, are his 1990s.) And I have never tasted a more impeccably balanced or consistently delicious and intriguing collection at this address than these 2007s. For some general notes on Javillier’s approach to vinification, consult my report in issue 180.

A pure, expressive and really quite pretty nose of fresh chardonnay fruit and citrus hints that are in keeping with the light mineral notes of the attractively detailed and firm flavors that possess both the balance and acid structure to reward a few years of cellar time. Lovely quality.

Aged entirely in oak (40% new while other vintages have seen 10%) for 12 months, the 2003 Bourgogne Cuvee des Forgets Cuvee Speciale (white) reveals green tints in its pale straw color. Its rich, creamy and yeasty aromas lead to a lush, smooth, and opulent personality. Medium-bodied, seamless, and satin-textured, this is an ample pear flavored wine for drinking over the next 6 years. Bravo to Patrick Javillier!
Drink 2005-2011

Licorice and lime. Quite lean, but true. Very serious and lean for the appellation, though
not a very long laster. Drink 2005-2009

This is stunning quality for a Bourgogne: I'd have this in preference to most village Meursaults. A reasonably deep colour, it has a fragrant nose of nutty, rounded, slightly honeyed fruit. There's a whiff of smokiness. The palate is broad with more nuttiness and a nice minerally finish with lovely acidic structure. Very good/excellent.

Spicy pear aromas can be found in the nose of the 2001 Bourgogne Cuvee des Forgets Cuvee Speciale. Lush, fresh, and bright, it is light to medium-bodied. This wine offers a lovely array of lemon, mineral, and apple flavors in its expressive personality.
