CHATEAU DE MEURSAULT Meursault 1er Cru 'Charmes Dessus' 2022

Wine Region:Burgundy - France

Grape: 100% Chardonnay.

Tasting notes:For many Burgundy lovers, Les Charmes is the quintessential expression of Meursault — and the Charmes-Dessus sector represents its finest parcels. The nose is rich, powerful, and complex, unveiling layers of toasted notes and ripe stone fruit. On the palate, it offers both tension and finesse, with a generous texture balanced by vibrant acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish. A benchmark Premier Cru that perfectly captures the elegance and depth of Meursault.

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.
