Meursault „Clos du Cromin“ is a single-vineyard Chardonnay reflecting the terroir character of the southern part of Meursault, located towards the Volnay side. Deep clay soils with a limestone base provide the wine with a richer texture while preserving the freshness and minerality typical of Meursault.
On the nose, the wine reveals notes of yellow plum, ripe pear, apple, and citrus fruits, complemented by white flowers, hazelnuts, and subtle hints of butter and toasted bread. With time in the glass, it gains further complexity, revealing delicate mineral and spicy nuances.
On the palate, the wine is concentrated with a rounded texture, yet its lively acidity provides energy and precision. The richness of ripe white fruits is balanced by limestone-driven minerality, while the long finish reveals citrus freshness and a subtle saline character. This wine has ageing potential, while its harmonious structure also makes it approachable in its youth.
The grapes are grown on a south and southeast-facing parcel with deep clay soils over a limestone base. The estate follows culture raisonnée principles, harvesting at optimal ripeness. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for approximately 16–18 months in French oak barrels.
Serving temperature: 12–13 °C. Pairs perfectly with pan-seared sea bass with beurre blanc sauce, veal loin with morels, and poultry stuffed with Comté cheese.
Domaine Patrick Javillier is a family estate based in the village of Meursault, whose history began in 1945 when Raymond Javillier revived the family-owned vineyards. In 1974, after completing his oenology studies in Dijon, Patrick Javillier took over the estate, expanding it from 2 to approximately 11 hectares and establishing a clear philosophy: to produce wines that faithfully express the unique character of each Burgundy terroir. Today, the estate is managed by the third generation, Marion Javillier and Pierre-Emmanuel Lamy, who continue the family's winemaking tradition.
The estate owns vineyards in some of the most prestigious Côte de Beaune appellations, including Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Aloxe-Corton, and Pernand-Vergelesses. Its portfolio includes Regional, Village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru wines, with ‘Chardonnay’ forming the foundation of the domaine. Patrick Javillier became known for his ability to combine fruit from different vineyard parcels into precisely crafted cuvées, such as Les Clousots and Tête de Murger, while preserving the distinct identity of each terroir.
Sustainable viticulture is practised throughout the vineyards following the principles of culture raisonnée. Particular attention is paid to pruning, green harvesting, determining the optimal harvest date, and producing healthy, balanced grapes. Each vineyard parcel is managed individually according to its soil composition, exposure, and microclimate.
The white wines are gently pressed using a pneumatic press, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in French oak barrels for 16–18 months. The proportion of new oak is adapted to the character of each vineyard, while bâtonnage is applied according to the conditions of the vintage. The red wines undergo cold maceration before fermentation, and are bottled with minimal fining and filtration to preserve purity, texture, and terroir expression.
