Patrick Javillier is undoubtedly one of the leading producers in Meursault. He has 9h/a of vines and he firmly believes in the importance of long elevage on the lees to achieve the best results. The wine is aged in barrel for a year followed by further ageing in tank on the fine lees. His wines are defined by their precision. They farm organically.
"Mid lemon yellow, with a most attractive ripe fruit nose, still with its characteristic hint of lime blossom. Splendid energy on the palate, with a hillside thread providing limestone clarity, and just a little fresh pepper at the finish. In bottle. Drink from 2027-2031."

"Struck match, but delicate. So much fruit, so much thrill. This is kaleidoscopic and pixelated with flavour. Brimming over and crackling with acidity and energy and also satin ribbons of texture. You could drink it now for the breath-gasping adrenalin of the ski run, or you could wait for the magnificence and stature to unfold."
- 17.5/200, Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com
