Description
Patrick Javillier's Domaine is located in Meursault, one of Burgundy's most important appellations. The Javillier family has had its own vineyards here for centuries. Patrick Javillier trained as an oenologist in Dijon and took over the family business from his father in 1974.
The estate has several small plots scattered throughout Meursault, totaling no more than 9 hectares. Javillier makes a different wine from each vineyard, as his goal is to express the specific terroir as purely as possible in the wine's flavor. Two wines from different vineyards can therefore have very different characters. Javillier produces several white cuvées, blending wines from different vineyards. The vinification process, the winemaking process, is determined by the harvest. This also results in striking differences between vintages. Javillier produces wines that can age well. They are among the finest wines in the Côte d'Or.
The vineyards are situated on the foothills of the Meursault escarpment, facing south-southeast, on slate and clay subsoil. Like many top Burgundy estates, this vineyard is also very small, measuring 1.70 hectares. This sought-after wine is a so-called allocation wine, of which the Netherlands receives only a few cases annually. Javillier is the undisputed king of making wine from diverse vineyards, and this Les Tillets is produced from six parcels close together on the same site, with vines ranging in age from 30 to 70 years.
The "Les Tillets" has a refined, powerful style and is aged for 18 months in new and used oak barrels. The nose is expressive, with aromas of white fruit blossom, yellow and white fruit, and a light spice with a touch of toast. The palate is round and lively, with an aromatic freshness of citrus and yellow fruit, with some nutty aromas at the end. This is a very delicate wine with a long finish and an underlying robustness, and its style can be described as somewhere between a classic Meursault and a typical Puligny-Montrachet.

Patrick Javillier's Domaine is located in Meursault, one of the most important appellations in Burgundy. The Javillier family has had their own vineyards here for centuries. Patrick Javillier trained as an oenologist in Dijon and took over the family business from his father in 1974. In Patrick Javillier's cellar in Meursault, one plus one equals three. His old teacher would probably disagree, but this is the philosophy Javillier has used for years when making his wines. By blending wine from different climates with complementary properties, he creates a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. For example, the Meursault Clousots is a marriage between Meursault Les Clous and Meursault Les Crotots. The mix of these two climates is better than the individual wines. Patrick Javillier has been making wine since 1974. He obtained his Diplôme National d'Œnology in Dijon in 1973. He then continued his military service for a year. The day after he finished his military service, he was back in Meursault alone to vinify the 1974. His father had retired and left the three hectares of vines to his son.
Since then, Domaine Patrick Javillier has grown to ten hectares. The Meursault Clousots is the latest addition to its wine portfolio, with 2006 being the first vintage for this cuvée. Another of his cuvées, the Meursault Tête de Murger, has commanded a high price for years. As with the Clousots, the Tête de Murger is a Meursault appellation coummunale, originating from two different climates - in this case Les Casse-Têtes west of the village and Au Murger de Monthélie north of the village bordering Monthélie. If you can find two climates of the Meursault village appellation that complement each other, you can get premium cru quality, explains Patrick Javillier. But again, if you are not careful in choosing the climates, you could end up with a wine that is not as good as either one. Patrick Javillier produces a small amount of grand cru wine - Corton-Charlemagne - and an even smaller amount of premier cru. His Meursault Charmes produces only 400 bottles per year. Javillier makes wines that can be kept for a long time. They belong to the top of the Côte d'Or.
