The wine region of Meursault
Burgundian summit of ample great whites: signature Chardonnay reigns exclusively in whites — green-gold with bronze glints, rich and unctuous with almond, toasted hazelnut, honey, candied citrus, hawthorn, lime blossom and a flinty mineral signature, richness and chiselled acidity, barrel-aged. Exceptional power-freshness balance and great ageing (8-15 years). Village AOC (1937, ~400 ha) south of Beaune, limestone marls. Renowned Premiers Crus (Perrières, Genevrières, Charmes).
