✨ 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
Tracing its origins back to the 11th century when it was established by Robert I, Duke of Burgundy, Château de Meursault stands as one of the most iconic and historic estates in the Côte de Beaune. Owned by the Halley family since 2012, the property spans over 65 hectares of prime vineyards across legendary appellations ranging from Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault to Volnay, Pommard, and Corton. The estate practices precise, parcel-by-parcel viticulture, aging its creations within magnificent vaulted cellars that date from the 12th to the 16th centuries. Château de Meursault is celebrated worldwide for its opulent, mineral-laced Chardonnay expressions such as Clos du Château and Clos des Grands Charrons, alongside refined, structured Pinot Noirs from top premier crus like Volnay Clos des Chênes and Pommard Clos des Épenots.
