✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
