There must be a process holding a lock on the mount point - annoying that the previous chown command didn't exit with a fail status but hey ho. Ok let's try and be methodical and shut down the NFS and relevant mount units first:

sudo systemctl stop nfs-*
sudo systemctl stop media-julian-DEMETER.mount
sudo systemctl stop media-julian-DEMETER.automount
sudo systemctl umount /media/julian/DEMETER

# that hopefully "frees" any process locks

sudo ls -alh /media/julian
sudo chown julian:julian /media/julian/DEMETER
sudo ls -alh /media/julian

# the second command should show the updated permissions

If so, reboot and test the nfs mount. If not don't reboot and try and delete the mount point entirely. There will presumably be an instructive error message if the system still doesn't like it.
