Patrick Javillier’s Meursault Les Tillets offers a beautifully poised expression of this celebrated village, sourced from higher-altitude vineyards that lend the wine a distinctive freshness and lift. Unlike some richer, more opulent styles of Meursault, Les Tillets leans into precision and elegance, showcasing the purity of Chardonnay with a fine mineral backbone. Javillier’s meticulous approach in both vineyard and cellar ensures a wine that is both refined and quietly complex.

On the nose, it opens with aromas of white peach, citrus zest, and orchard fruits, layered with subtle notes of toasted hazelnut, fresh butter, and a hint of struck flint. The palate is vibrant and textured, balancing ripe fruit with bright acidity and a gentle, well-integrated oak influence. There’s a lovely tension throughout, leading to a long, clean finish that speaks to its hillside origins. A superb partner for roast chicken, turbot, or creamy mushroom dishes, this is a Meursault of finesse rather than weight—equally enjoyable now or with a few years in bottle.

Chardonnay (100%)

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted white grape varieties in the world, renowned for its adaptability to diverse climates and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, where it reaches its most elegant and mineral expression, Chardonnay can range from crisp and steely to rich and opulent, depending on where and how it is made. Its relatively neutral character allows it to reflect both terroir and technique—whether aged in stainless steel for a lean, citrus-driven profile, or in oak barrels to develop notes of vanilla, toast, and creamy texture. Flavours often include apple, pear, lemon, peach, and tropical fruits, with cool-climate examples offering tension and minerality, while warmer regions yield fuller, rounder styles. From Chablis to Napa, Margaret River to Sicily, Chardonnay remains a benchmark for quality and diversity in white wine.

Burgundy - in eastern France, is one of the world’s most revered wine regions, celebrated for its deep-rooted history, complex terroirs, and single-varietal expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Unlike Bordeaux's grand blends, Burgundy focuses on purity and place, with wines that reflect the nuances of individual vineyards—sometimes just a few rows of vines. The region is divided into key subregions: Chablis in the north (crisp, mineral whites), the Côte de Nuits (prestigious reds like Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée), the Côte de Beaune (home to legendary whites like Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet), as well as the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. With a mosaic of limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate, Burgundy produces wines of finesse, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. Its system of classifications—from regional to village, premier cru, and grand cru—is rooted in centuries of tradition and terroir-driven philosophy.
