Description

A fresh Meursault wine with a beautiful complexity

The estate

In Meursalt, in the Côte de Beaune, Domaine du Château de Meursault is one of Burgundy's legendary wine estates. Boasting a century-old history, Domaine du Château de Meursault is a true Burgundian gem and is currently owned by the Halley family.

Domaine du Château de Meursault oversees an exceptional vineyard in the Côte d'Or, spread over 65 hectares from Puligny-Montrachet to Aloxe-Corton.

The vineyard

This Premier Cru "Perrières" 2018 from Domaine du Château de Meursault is a Meursault wine that stems from a 1.1-hectare terroir, spread across two plots planted on a Perrières hillside and rests on hard limestone soil from the Jurassic period.

Winemaking and ageing

Once the grapes have been harvested by hand, they are slowly and gradually pressed. Following static settling, the must is then placed in oak barrels for alcoholic fermentation. Each plot is vinified and aged separately to preserve the authentic expression of its original terroir. Each batch is rigorously monitored throughout the vinification process. The wine is aged for 15 to 18 months in oak barrels (35% new oak along with barrels of two or three wines). The barrels are blended before bottling.

Blend

Chardonnay (100%).
