✨ Technical Specifications
Château de Meursault's '10 Ans d'Age' represents a magnificent liquid history of Burgundian distillation, typically crafted as a traditional Marc de Bourgogne or Fine de Bourgogne. Distilled from the high-quality grape pomace or lees of the estate's prestigious Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, this spirit is aged for a minimum of ten years in French oak casks within the château's legendary 12th-century double-vaulted cellars. This slow, decade-long maturation coaxes out deep amber hues and a complex aromatic profile of dried stone fruits, toasted nuts, sweet spices, and refined rancio. It stands as a testament to the ancient monastic traditions of utilizing every element of the harvest to create spirits of immense depth and contemplative character.
🍾 About the Producer
With origins tracing back to the eleventh century and historical cellars excavated beneath its sprawling estate, Château de Meursault represents one of the largest and most storied domaines in the Côte de Beaune. Acquired in 2012 by Olivier Halley and managed by Stéphane Follin-Arbelet, the estate spans roughly 65 hectares over more than one hundred distinct parcels across Aloxe-Corton, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Beaune, Volnay, Pommard, Meursault, and Puligny-Montrachet. Viticulture is strictly organic, achieving full certification across its climats with the 2022 vintage. Terroirs feature varied Jurassic limestone and clay marls on east- and southeast-facing slopes, farmed with an emphasis on biodiversity and living soils. Vinification balances Burgundian tradition with cutting-edge, low-carbon geothermal infrastructure, employing optical berry sorting, precise temperature-regulated fermentation, and measured French oak maturation. The domaine's benchmark whites include the flagship monopole Clos du Château, Premier Cru Charmes, and Premier Cru Perrières, accompanied by elegant Côte de Beaune reds and rare bottlings like Pinot Beurot.
