Tasting notes
The 2023 Meursault du Château Blanc from Château de Meursault is a fresh yet expressive interpretation of classic Meursault Chardonnay. The nose opens with vibrant aromas of white peach, apple, pear, and lemon zest, complemented by delicate floral notes. Beneath this immediate freshness lies a subtle layer of complexity, revealing hints of toasted hazelnut, butter, vanilla, and a finely etched mineral backbone.
On the palate, the wine is both rich and precise, combining a rounded, textured mouthfeel with vibrant, well-integrated acidity. The balance between fruit purity, restrained oak influence, and mineral tension gives the wine clarity and elegance rather than weight. The finish is long, clean, and refined, leaving lingering notes of citrus and stone.
Approachable in its youth for its freshness and harmony, this Meursault also has the structure and balance to evolve gracefully with short to medium-term ageing.
More About The Winery
The Château de Meursault estate comprises 60 hectares of vines. It is one of the Côte de Beaune’s most richly endowed estates, indeed no less than 23 hectares of its holdings lie in Premier Cru and Grand Cru appellations. The estate’s origins go back to the 11th century. From 1666 it was owned by Pierre de Blancheton, a lawyer in the Burgundy Parliament, and it remained in his family until the Revolution. At the beginning of the 19th century the estate was enlarged, mainly thanks to the Serre family who made important modifications to the Château’s architecture and considerably developed the vineyards.
After passing down through successive generations, it came into the hands of the Count of Moucheron, who left it to his eldest son, Étienne. At that time the estate was about a quarter of its size today. In 1973 André Boisseaux, founder of the Kriter Group, bought the Château and devoted a lot of energy and taste to its restoration. Finally in 2012 the estate was acquired by Olivier Halley, a wine lover who has always had a passionate conviction towards the greatness of Burgundy’s vineyards.
