Patrick Javillier
Patrick Javillier
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.
