✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic cellars of Château de Meursault, which trace their origins back to the 11th century under the Capetian Dukes of Burgundy, the 'Bourgogne du Château' Pinot Noir is a masterful expression of regional terroir. This cuvée is crafted from select estate-owned parcels situated on the clay-limestone slopes of the Côte de Beaune. The grapes are meticulously sorted and destemmed before undergoing fermentation, followed by aging in French oak barrels within the château's legendary 12th-to-18th-century double-vaulted cellars. This traditional process coaxes out a vibrant profile of red berries, subtle forest floor, and elegant spice, embodying the classic, refined style of Burgundian Pinot Noir with a structure that reflects the estate's prestigious heritage.
