✨ wine.spec_sheet
The 'Clos du Château' is a signature white Burgundy from Château de Meursault, crafted from a historic 8-hectare monopole vineyard situated directly in front of the majestic château. Although classified as a Bourgogne Blanc, this wine benefits from a terroir of exceptional quality, featuring clay-limestone soils over a hard limestone bedrock that closely mirrors the prestigious village-level plots of Meursault. The grapes are hand-harvested, gently pressed, and fermented in French oak barrels. The wine is then aged in the estate's legendary 12th-century double-vaulted cellars, resulting in a Chardonnay of remarkable elegance, balancing vibrant citrus and white flower aromas with a rich, buttery texture and a distinct mineral backbone.
