Earlier this year, we shared news of new Burgundy producers joining us this year. The wines from one of these producers, Domaine Jean Javillier et Fils from Meursault, have now landed in Hong Kong. Today, we are excited to introduce you to this estate - a producer that should be on the radar of all connoisseurs of old-school Burgundian wines🤗. We are happy to offer a special introductory promotion, so you can experience these offerings firsthand.

Jean Javillier et Fils was established in 1933 by Jacques Javillier. This small, family-run domaine is nestled between Domaine Coche-Dury and Domaine Roulot in the village of Meursault. The domaine is now managed by Jacques' grandsons, Alain and Thierry Javillier, and comprises 5 hectares of vineyards spanning Meursault, Volnay, and Pommard.

What distinguishes this estate is the long-established organic approach to wine making and its incredibly old vine parcels🌱, some dating back over 100 years, rarely found in Meursault. The Javilliers take a very traditional, hands-off approach in the cellar, minimally intervening to allow the character of the grapes to fully express themselves.

Nearly all the work at the estate is done manually, from tending the soils to harvesting the grapes. Alain Javillier devotes himself entirely to the organic farming and winemaking, often working from dawn until late in the evening to ensure the highest level of care.

The domaine's annual production of around 20,000 bottles focuses on crafting structured, full-bodied white wines and elegant, red-fruited red wines that pair beautifully with refined cuisine. In the vineyards, only sulfur and copper are used for disease management, without any synthetic chemicals. The winemaking follows a non-interventionist approach, with spontaneous fermentations, extended maceration for the reds, and natural malolactic fermentation.
