The Clos du Chateau Blanc is a celebrated monopole of Chateau de Meursault, sourced from an exceptional 8-hectare parcel situated directly in front of the historic chateau. Although classified under the regional Bourgogne Blanc appellation, this wine is treated with the same meticulous care as the estate's prestigious Premier Crus. The vineyard's terroir features a thin layer of clay-limestone soil over hard Bathonian limestone bedrock, imparting a signature mineral tension, precision, and elegance. Historically, these lands have been cultivated for centuries, dating back to the Capetian Dukes of Burgundy. Aged in French oak casks within the estate's legendary 12th-century double-vaulted cellars, the wine beautifully balances vibrant citrus and white flower aromas with a rich, textured palate of toasted hazelnut and brioche.
