The story
The family's first parcels were reorganized by Raymond Javillier upon his return from the war; the family business then developed under his son Patrick, who took the reins in the 1970s. In subsequent years the estate expanded its vineyards, and today its management involves the third generation, with Marion and Pierre-Emmanuel active respectively in winemaking, sales and vineyard management.
Production philosophy
An approach focused on respect for the terroir and on reasoned viticulture. In the cellar the philosophy is one of moderate intervention: use of indigenous yeasts, careful vinification and separate aging by parcel, with extended lees aging for the whites and a measured use of oak.
Terroir and vineyards
The domaine is located in Meursault, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. Its parcels are situated across several communes and climats in the area, including Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses, with bottles covering village-level and Premier Cru appellations and references to Grand Cru.
