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.
