Domaine du Château de Meursault : Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er cru "Les Peuillets" 2018

The aromatic intensity and finesse of a red wine from Savigny-Les-Beaune

The estate

In the Côte de Beaune, in Meursault, Domaine du Château de Meursault is one of the iconic estates in the Burgungy appellation. With over 1000 years of history, Domaine du Château de Meursault is a true Burgundian gem which is now owned by the Halley family.

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

The vineyard

A true reference among the fine Savigny-Les-Beaune wines, this 2018 1er cru "Les Peuillets" by the Domaine du Château de Meursault stems from an eponymous climate. Facing east, this 1.62-hectare vineyard is spread over 2 plots and is planted at the bottom of the hillside on slightly stony clay-limestone soil.

The vinification and ageing

Hand-picked, the grapes are sorted manually and optically before being destemmed. Pre-fermentation maceration for 15 to 18 days and alcoholic fermentation for 5 to 6 days, along with punching down and pumping over. The wine is aged for 15 months in oak barrels (30% of which are new, first and second-fill barrels) and in stainless steel tanks.

The blend

Pinot Noir (100%).
