Meursault Les Tillets millésime 2024 est un vin blanc de Bourgogne de la cave Patrick Javillier, élaboré exclusivement à partir de cépage Chardonnay, cultivé au niveau du village sur une exploitation de 1,7 hectare située dans la région de la Côte de Beaune.
En 2024, la floraison a débuté sous un temps froid, nuageux et pluvieux, ce qui a entraîné une forte baisse des rendements, et les précipitations cumulées du printemps et de l'été ont été deux fois supérieures à la moyenne. Cependant, le Chardonnay a mieux résisté à ces conditions que le Pinot Noir. Les raisins ont été récoltés dans un état relativement impeccable ; les rendements étaient suffisants plutôt que faibles, et tant le potentiel alcoolique que l'acidité étaient favorables. Cela se ressent pleinement au verre. Des arômes de citron et de citron vert s'imposent au nez et en bouche, complétés par de subtiles notes de crème de citron qui apportent de la richesse ; un milieu de bouche ferme et intense mène à une finale longue et rafraîchissante. C'est un vin qui procure un véritable plaisir à la dégustation.
Le processus de fermentation s'est déroulé sans problème majeur, et le vin blanc du millésime 2024 de ce domaine a été mis en bouteille entre novembre 2025 et février 2026.
La gestion quotidienne est actuellement assurée par Marion Javillier et Pierre-Emmanuel Lamy (elle supervise les vins rouges, tandis qu'il s'occupe des vins blancs et de la gestion du vignoble). Le Chardonnay est le cépage principal cultivé, accompagné d'une petite quantité de Pinot Noir.
À déguster de préférence entre 2027 et 2038.

Tank sample. Smoky and fun and lot and lots of pleasure. Liquorice. Good stuff! Jancis Robinson

The 2024 Meursault Les Tillets is clean and precise on the nose, citrus lemon, lime and light lemon curd scents unfolding in the glass. The palate is well balanced, very cohesive with deftly integrated oak. I admire the nascent tension of this Les Tillets, with a strictness but paradoxical intensity that keeps you engaged. I suspect that this will age with class.

Producer note: This year I again met with Patrick Javillier's daughter Marion, and his son-in-law Pierre-Emmanuel Lamy, who have now taken over the day-to-day operations. Marion is responsible for the red wines and Lamy for the whites and the vineyard work, while Patrick remains ready to assist when and where necessary. They briefly described the 2024 growing season as "rough going for the pinot in terms of yields though not too bad for the chardonnay, which is to say correct. There was quite a bit of sorting for the pinot but the chardonnay was relatively clean with good potential alcohols and acidities. We had no particular issues with the fermentations and the wines improved quite a bit during the élevage. In terms of the wines, the style is classic for both colors. We're happy with the quality as well though it would be fair to say that 2024 is good to very good in red but excellent in white." I would very much agree with this take because while the reds are indeed very good, the whites are first-rate and warmly recommended. The 2024 reds were bottled in November 2025 and the whites between November 2025 and February 2026.
Tasting note: Once again there is a coolness to the airy, even wafting, nose of wet stone, citrus and exotic tea. The sleek, intense and beautifully delineated, even chiseled, flavors brim with minerality on the lilting, focused, balanced and lightly austere finale. Villages-level Meursault doesn't get a lot better and this is pretty much textbook Tillets.

I didn’t need to be told that this was Les Tillets: as soon as I put my nose in the glass the lime blossom emerged. Excellent fruit on the attack, which powers on through the middle towards a crisp finish in support of the undoubted flesh. This is just right, and very persistent.
