Origin

Meursault is an appellation from the Côte de Beaune, named after the village of Meursault located in the south of Beaune. It covers a surface area of 396 hectares, of which 108 are Premier Cru rated. Meursault is best known for its white wines which represent 96% of the production.

It also forms the north tip of the Golden Triangle, where the finest white wines of Burgundy come from, along with the villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes were hand-picked and sorted manually as soon as they arrived at the winery. They were then pressed in a pneumatic press which allows for perfect extraction of the juices without over pressing the grapes. Vinification and ageing took place in wooden barrels with a proportion of 40% new oak. The wine is aged on the lees for 9 months without batonnage, then aged in vat for 2 months.

Vintage : 2024

One year follows another and no two are alike. After a generous and fairly mild 2023 vintage, 2024 was long, temperamental and rainy for our vineyard team. Rain was an integral part of their daily routine from autumn 2023 and throughout the vegetative growth of the vines. It took a lot of effort to contain mildew and weeds in the plots. Flowering went slowly but smoothly in the 1st half of June.

Until mid-June, temperatures fluctuated between normal and cool, with frost in some areas in April. It was only when summer came around that we were able to enjoy seasonal, even warm, temperatures.

In terms of Burgundy as a whole, the Côte Chalonnaise came out on top in terms of both the quantity and quality of the grapes harvested. Even if all these climatic hazards had an impact on the yield, we harvested grapes with very well-balanced ripeness and airy bunches. After meticulous sorting and fine vinification work, we're delighted with the quality of our wines. The whites are well-balanced, fresh and flavoursome. The reds are straightforward, fruity and elegant.
