Domaine Patrick Javillier
About Domaine Patrick Javillier
Based in Mersault, the Javillier family has been farming their family plot since 1945. Patrick took over the management of the estate from his father in 1974 and, over the years, increased his acreage by buying over neighbouring vineyards and merging with those owned by his wife, Catherine’s family.
A Burgundian vigneron who, in the highly knowledgeable eyes of Jancis Robinson MW, remains criminally “under-exposed and under-garlanded”, Patrick Javillier is a low-profile winemaker nestled in the village of Meursault. Focusing on interpreting and coaxing the very best from his vineyard holdings and terroirs, he has consistently received a lot of praise from leading critics.
Viniculture
Patrick Javillier is a firm believer in the wizardry of blending. The masterful vigneron knits together wines from individual “climats”, each with complimenting characters, to create wines that are undoubtedly greater than the sums of its parts.
Admittedly a specialist of Meursault, his village bottlings captures vividly his uncommon blending philosophy. Meursault Les Clousots and Meursault Cuvée Tête de Murger are amongst the most sought-after and special cuvée. Alongside these, Javillier also possesses 0.17 hc of Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru.

Vinous (88-90)The 2020 Meursault Clos du Cromin is tightly-wound on the nose and needed coaxing from the glass, light citrus lemon, Golden Delicious and earthy tones gradually unfurl. The palate is well balanced with fine depth, a slightly resinous texture that leads to a pithy, wild peach-tinged finish. Give this just a year in bottle. |

Vinous (91-93)Bright straw-yellow. Ineffable high notes of brown spices and spearmint lift sexy stone fruit aromas. Wonderfully ripe and intense, conveying terrific inner-mouth perfume and tension to its citrus, stone fruit and spice flavors. Finishes saline and gripping, with terrific class and slow-building length. As tactile as this wine is, it stands out for its energy and light touch. This will be a village wine to seek out. |

Vinous (91+)The 2020 Meursault Cuvée Tête de Murger has a well-defined nose, although I was expecting a little more presence and energy compared to previous vintages that I have tasted over the years. The palate is well balanced and shows more gumption, fine acidity with a touch of ginger, well-defined with red apple, nectarine and orange pith on the finish. Just give it some time for the aromatics to open. |
