A Legacy Rooted in Tradition:The Story of Domaine Patrick Javillier
Domaine Patrick Javillier, located in the heart of Meursault, is a family-owned estate that has been crafting wines for generations. Patrick Javillier, the man behind the domaine’s success, is a name synonymous with precision and quality in Burgundy. Born into a family of winemakers, Patrick initially pursued a career in law before the allure of the vineyard drew him back to his roots. His passion for winemaking, combined with a meticulous approach to viticulture, has helped elevate the domaine to its current esteemed status.
The estate primarily focuses on white wines, but their Red Burgundy offerings are equally compelling, showcasing the finesse and complexity that the region is known for. Patrick’s daughter, Marion Javillier, has since joined the domaine, continuing the family tradition and bringing a fresh perspective to the winemaking process.
