Description
Domaine Jean Javillier & Fils is situated in the picture-perfect village of Meursault in Burgundy’s Cote d’Or. The vineyards have been organically farmed for decades – receiving organic certification in 1971. They have never seen chemicals. Reds and whites alike are harvested in small crates, with whites pressed in an ancient Vaslin mechanical press. Today the estate is run by Alain Javillier who inherited the estate from his father and from whom he inherited the drive for organic conversion.
In the winery, the reds, ferment without temperature control, and only free-run juice is used. Only naturally occuring yeasts are used and the wines are aged in old oak casks for 12-14 months. The result is a chewy, ripe and sumptuous wine with hints of chocolate. This is an are exquisitely elegant red, dark cherry in colour with scents of black cherry, prune and blackberry.
