Château de Meursault
Founded in the 11th century, Château de Meursault is one of Burgundy’s most historic and recognizable estates. Located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the domaine farms an exceptional collection of vineyards spanning many of the region’s most celebrated appellations. Combining centuries of heritage with a modern commitment to quality and sustainability, Château de Meursault produces wines that faithfully express the diversity of Burgundy’s great terroirs.
The Estate
The estate covers 60 hectares of vineyards across the Côte de Beaune, making it one of Burgundy’s largest and most significant domaine-owned properties. Its holdings extend through Aloxe-Corton, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. More than 23 hectares are classified as Premier Cru or Grand Cru, providing access to some of the region’s most sought-after vineyard sites.
Vineyards and Terroir
The vineyards span a remarkable range of exposures, elevations and soil types, from the limestone slopes of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet to the clay-limestone terroirs of Pommard and Volnay. This diversity allows the estate to produce both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines with distinct personalities while maintaining a consistent emphasis on balance, freshness and vineyard expression.
Winemaking
Since 2012, significant investments have been made in both the vineyards and winery. Sustainable farming practices, cover crops, lower yields and careful vineyard management have strengthened fruit quality across the estate. All wines are produced exclusively from estate-grown fruit. Ageing takes place in the château’s historic vaulted cellars, with oak used thoughtfully to support structure and complexity without overshadowing the character of each vineyard.
Wine Style
The white wines are known for their precision, texture and mineral depth, while the reds combine purity of fruit with elegance and structure. Across the range, the wines reflect the classic style of the Côte de Beaune, emphasizing finesse, balance and ageing potential.
