Domaine Patrick Javillier
ドメーヌ・パトリック・ジャヴィリエ
Meursault master of blending: where assembling terroirs creates something greater than single-vineyard dogma
Founded when Patrick Javillier began producing under his own label in 1990 after expanding the family domaine inherited from father Raymond, who had farmed 2 hectares in Meursault since returning from World War II. Patrick's distinctive philosophy champions blending over single-vineyard dogma: he vinifies each parcel separately, then carefully assembles the final cuvées, arguing the whole exceeds the sum of its parts. The domaine is now run by daughter Marion and son-in-law Pierre-Emmanuel. Javillier is particularly celebrated for producing what several critics consider the finest Corton-Charlemagne in Burgundy, from a remarkable 0.17-hectare parcel in Les Pougets.
