Histoire du domaine
The history of the estate began in 1945, when Raymond Javillier, returning from the war, took over the operation of 2 hectares of vineyards long owned by the family. In 1974, his son Patrick Javillier, holding the National Diploma of Enology, carried out his first harvest and vinification alone after taking over the estate from his father. During the 1980s and until the early 1990s, Patrick expanded the estate through the acquisition of parcels and the takeover of vineyards belonging to the family of his wife, Catherine. His eldest daughter Marion joined the business in 2005 after studies in management, enology, and viticulture; she took charge of the red wines and marketing. In 2011, Pierre-Emmanuel Lamy, husband of Laurène, Marion's sister, joined the estate in turn to look after the vineyards as well as the vinification and ageing of the white wines. Marion Javillier and Pierre-Emmanuel Lamy now represent the third active generation of this family estate, which has grown to 11 hectares.

Les Tillets is a climat of Meursault located at the top of the slope, west of the village, situated in particular above the Gouttes d'Or and Les Bouchères sectors. This high-altitude terroir, oriented from east to southeast, belongs to the Meursault village appellation without Premier Cru classification. The described soils are thin, stony, and of the rendzina type, with gravelly scree and white marls resting on hard limestone sometimes close to the surface.
