The Javillier family has deep roots in the village, with Patrick Javillier developing the domaine into a respected specialist in terroir-driven white Burgundy. Today, the estate encompasses approximately 11 hectares spread across five communes of the Côte de Beaune, including Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses. The domaine produces wines from regional appellations through Village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru levels. Its philosophy emphasizes individual vineyard expression, careful élevage and precise blending of complementary Meursault terroirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003ePatrick Javillier remains the defining figure behind the domaine and its distinctive approach to white Burgundy. Today, the family continues the estate’s work across both vineyard management and winemaking, with Pierre-Emmanuel Lamy playing an important role in the production of the white wines. The domaine is particularly respected for its ability to vinify individual parcels separately before assembling complementary terroirs. This approach allows each vineyard component to retain its identity while contributing to a more complete final wine. The house style combines concentration and texture with freshness, mineral tension and restrained oak, producing Chardonnay capable of developing considerable complexity with bottle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe cuvée combines two complementary Meursault lieux-dits: Les Casse-Têtes and Les Murgers de Monthélie. Les Casse-Têtes lies high on the classic Meursault slope, with an easterly exposure and shallow, rocky, limestone-influenced soils. This cooler, stony environment contributes precision, mineral tension, freshness and structural drive. Les Murgers de Monthélie lies toward the Volnay side of the appellation, with a contrasting westerly orientation and deeper clay-rich topsoil over distinctive underlying rock. It contributes greater volume, richness and length. Combining these contrasting sites creates a particularly complete expression of Meursault, balancing generous fruit and texture with acidity, minerality and considerable ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe two vineyard components are handled separately to preserve the individual character of their respective terroirs before the final assemblage. After harvesting and sorting, the Chardonnay is gently pressed and the must is settled before fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and is followed by malolactic fermentation. The domaine matures its white wines in oak barrels, with the proportion of new oak adapted according to vineyard and vintage. Bâtonnage may be employed according to vintage conditions. Élevage generally lasts approximately 16 to 18 months, allowing extended contact with the fine lees. Bottling takes place at the domaine with minimal fining and filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eA concentrated and structured expression of Meursault, showing ripe apple, pear and pure white fruits alongside candied citrus and delicate floral nuances. The palate combines impressive volume with a firm underlying framework, displaying considerably more tension and grip than might normally be expected from a Village-level wine. Orchard fruit and citrus are supported by vibrant acidity, mineral energy and subtle oak-derived complexity. The contrasting vineyard components provide both breadth and precision, with the richer fruit gradually giving way to a focused, stony and lightly saline character. The finish is persistent, energetic and refined, suggesting excellent potential for further complexity through bottle ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe combination of richness, freshness and mineral structure makes this particularly versatile with refined seafood and poultry dishes. Excellent pairings include butter-poached lobster, grilled langoustines, scallops, roasted turbot, Dover sole, sea bass and richly prepared shellfish. Its acidity and mineral character work particularly well with steamed grouper, crab and premium Cantonese seafood, while the wine’s fuller texture can complement roast chicken, veal, creamy poultry dishes and mushroom-based cuisine. Mature examples can accompany more complex dishes featuring truffle or aged cheese. Avoid excessively spicy or strongly sweet preparations, which can overwhelm the Chardonnay’s delicate mineral character and layered aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eChardonnay — 100%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One Red Dot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48093442375811,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/9401\/7667\/files\/DomainePatrickJavillier_MeursaultCuveeTetedeMurger_9f4bdfd7-2a78-4ecb-8b9f-28672da35e7f.png?v=1753799519","url":"https:\/\/www.omycellar.com\/products\/domaine-patrick-javillier-meursault-cuvee-tete-de-murger-2024","provider":"OMY Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
