Description

The structure and intensity of a Volnay 1er Cru wine

The estate

Boasting a century-old history, Domaine du Château de Meursault is a reference among the finest Burgundian wines. Greatly developed by the Serre family at the beginning of the 19th century, the estate has belonged to the Halley family since 2012.

Domaine du Château de Meursault watches over a vineyard of nearly 65 hectares and spreads over more than 110 plots of land. Situated within the Premiers and Grands Crus, these plots are exclusively on the Côte de Beaune and in the communes of Aloxe-Corton, Savigny-Les-Beaune, Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Château de Meursault owns the prestigious Premier Cru "les Charmes Dessus", "Charmes", "Perrières" and holds the monopole of the "Clos des Grands Charrons" plot.

The vineyard

The 1er Cru Clos des Chênes 2021 by Domaine du Château de Meursault is a Volnay wine that stems from a 2.63-hectare parcel located on the top of the hill situated in the eponymous village. The vines enjoy an east/south-east exposure and lie on a soil composed of white marl.

Vinification and ageing

Following the harvest, the grapes are destemmed. Pre-fermentation maceration for 15 to 18 days in vats is carried out followed by fermentation for 5 to 6 days. The wine is aged for 15 to 18 months in new barrels (30%) and in second and third fill barrels.

The blend

Pinot Noir (100%).
