Description
The Domaine of Patrick Javillier is located in Meursault, one of the most important appellations of Burgundy. The Javillier family has had their own vineyards here for centuries. Patrick Javillier was trained as an oenologist in Dijon and took over the family business from his father in 1974.
The domain has several small plots scattered around Meursault. All together no more than 9 hectares. Javillier makes a different wine from each vineyard, because his goal is to express the specific 'terroir' as pure as possible in the taste of the wine. Two wines from different vineyards can therefore have a completely different character. Javillier makes some white cuvées, in which he mixes the wine from different vineyards. The vinification, the way the wine is made, makes Javillier dependent on the harvest. As a result, there can also be striking differences between the years. Javillier makes wines that can be kept for a long time. They belong to the top of the Côte d'Or.
The vineyards are located on the foothills of the Meursault slope on the south-southeast on a subsoil of slate and clay. As with many top Bourgogne houses, this vineyard is also very small and is 1.70 hectares in size and this popular wine is a so-called allocation wine that the Netherlands only receives a few boxes of per year. Javillier is the undisputed king of wine making from diverse vineyards and this Les Tillets is produced from 6 plots close together in the same location, the age of the vines ranging from 30 to 70 years.
The Les Levrons vineyard is located at the foot of the Puligny slopes, north of the village; the soil consists of limestone
with patches of marl and limestone clay. The vineyard is truly a postage stamp vineyard of just 0.18 ha.The Les Levrons Puligny-Montrachet is an elegant wine consisting of a pure aromatic blend that combines grace with a well-marked personality
and focus; the bouquet is reminiscent of hawthorn, hazelnut, amber, lemongrass and apple with mineral and milky notes. A pleasant wine well balanced, full bodied with finesse. A perfect accompaniment to refined fish and shellfish.

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.
