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).

Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: White winemaking
White wines are obtained by fermentation of the juice after pressing. A pre-fermentation maceration is sometimes practiced to extract the aromatic substances from the skins. White wines are normally made from white grapes, but can also be made from red grapes (blanc de noirs). The grapes are then pressed as soon as they arrive at the vat house without maceration in order to prevent the colouring matter contained in the skins from "staining" the wine.
