The Bourgogne Blanc 'Terroir d'Exception' from Château de Meursault is a masterfully crafted white Burgundy that punches far above its regional classification. Sourced from meticulously selected parcels situated on the limestone-rich slopes bordering the prestigious Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet appellations, this cuvée benefits from the same elite viticultural standards as the estate's Premier Crus. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed before undergoing fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, a portion of which is new. This wine beautifully reflects the historic legacy of the Côte de Beaune, where Cistercian monks spent centuries mapping out the subtle nuances of the clay-limestone soils, resulting in a white Burgundy of remarkable tension, elegance, and mineral depth.
