Meursault is a wine appellation in Burgundy, France, that produces primarily white wines made from Chardonnay. It is located in the Côte de Beaune, just south of the town of Beaune itself. The appellation was created in 1937 and covers about 400 hectares of vineyards.
Located near the prestigious Charmes and Genevrières vineyards, these 35-year-old vines thrive in a blend of clay and chalk soil. Planted at a density of 10,000 vines per hectare and managed organically with partial grassing and meticulous care, the moderate yield of 50 hectoliters per hectare ensures each vine produces high-quality grapes for wines bursting with flavor.
Whole bunches are gently pressed using a pneumatic press, followed by a natural settling period for 24 hours. The wine is then transferred by gravity into oak barrels where both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occur naturally, without the addition of commercial yeasts.
Aged in french oak barrels during 10 months, then 4 months in stainless steel tank.
