✨ Technical Specifications
Château de Meursault, with a rich history dating back to the 11th century, produces exceptional red wines from its prestigious holdings in the Côte de Beaune, including the iconic Hill of Corton. As the only red Grand Cru appellation in the Côte de Beaune, these wines represent the pinnacle of Pinot Noir power and longevity. The terroir of the Grand Cru vineyards features iron-rich clay and limestone soils, which impart a profound structure, deep color, and complex mineral character to the wine. Meticulously crafted using traditional Burgundian methods, the grapes undergo strict sorting, gentle destemming, and cold pre-fermentation maceration. The wine is then aged for 15 to 18 months in French oak casks within the château's historic, double-vaulted cellars. This results in a majestic red Burgundy that beautifully marries dark berry fruit, forest floor, and spice with robust, velvety tannins.
🍾 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.
