Château de Meursault's Chardonnay, typically represented by their celebrated Bourgogne Clos du Château, offers an exceptional introduction to the estate's white wine pedigree. Sourced from parcels situated in close proximity to the historic 11th-century château, the vines thrive in classic clay-limestone soils that impart a signature mineral tension. The wine undergoes traditional fermentation and aging in French oak barrels within the estate's legendary double-vaulted cellars. This meticulous process yields a classic Burgundian Chardonnay characterized by aromas of white flowers, fresh citrus, and a subtle touch of toasted brioche, balancing a rich texture with vibrant, refreshing acidity.
