Leading prestigious Burgundy magazine Bourgogne Aujourdi announced Chateau de Meursault & Chateau de Marsannay as joint winners of producer of the year 2021.
Château de Meursault's vineyard holdings span more than 60 hectares (148 acres) in the Côte de Beaune and are mainly composed of three soil types: hard limestone, marly limestone, and calcareous alluvium. Around 80 percent of the vineyards are located within one mile (2km) of the château which is located on 10ha (25 acres), including an 8ha (20 acres) parcel of Chardonnay vines planted in 1973. The estate's top climats in Meursault include Charmes, Clos de Perrières, and the monopoly, Clos des Grands Charrons.
Grapes are harvested by hand and immediately sorted at the winery. Vinification decisions are largely determined by the terroir and vintage of each wine. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay barrels mature from 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, generally 30 percent new. This Cuvee is a blend of three plots, located in Savigny-lès-Beaune and Pommard.
