Château de Meursault — Côte de Beaune
Meursault & Corton — The limestone-driven expression of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
Château de Meursault is one of the most emblematic estates of the Côte de Beaune. Under the guidance of Ludivine Griveau (technical director) and the estate’s winemaking team, the domaine has undergone a profound renewal, characterised by a pursuit of precision, aromatic purity, and a finely tuned interpretation of limestone terroirs. The vineyard stretches across Meursault, Volnay, Pommard, Beaune and up to the prestigious Corton Grand Cru, where Pinot Noir reaches a more architectural dimension.
Terroirs & grape varieties: limestone, tension and elegance
Set on a mosaic of white limestone, ferruginous marls and clay-limestone soils, the estate benefits from one of the richest geological diversities in the Côte de Beaune. This translates into a faithful and luminous expression of its two great Burgundian varieties:
- Chardonnay: chalky tension, aromatic brightness, saline finish.
- Pinot Noir: depth, energy, finely sculpted tannins.
Key vineyard areas include:
- Meursault — Village & Premier Cru plots
- Corton Grand Cru
- Volnay, Pommard, Beaune
The domaine’s signature lies in wines that are tense, luminous and structured, always guided by the purity of the mineral expression.
Viticulture & winemaking: contemporary precision
- Sustainable viticulture, detailed parcel-by-parcel work
- Hand harvesting and meticulous sorting
- Chardonnays: whole-cluster pressing, fermentation in stainless steel & oak, 12–16 months’ ageing, carefully balanced new oak
- Pinot Noirs: partial destemming, gentle extractions, 12–18 months’ ageing (20–40% new oak)
