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).

Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
