✨ Technical Specifications
Representing the pinnacle of Château de Meursault's white wine production, their Grand Cru white Burgundy—sourced from the legendary, limestone-rich slopes of the Hill of Corton—is a masterclass in power, structure, and precision. The estate's history dates back to the 11th century, and today, these prized Chardonnay grapes are meticulously hand-harvested and gently pressed. The juice is fermented and aged in French oak casks within the château's breathtaking 12th-century double-vaulted cellars, where the naturally cool, humid conditions allow for a slow, majestic maturation. This Grand Cru expression beautifully marries intense stony minerality with rich, toasted brioche, white flowers, and ripe citrus notes, reflecting a centuries-old winemaking heritage.
🍾 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.
