A village appellation in the Côte de Beaune, harvested in the delimited parts of the village of Meursault. The appellation covers around 447 hectares and produces 95% white wines, which are among the best in Burgundy. Around 30% of the appellation's surface area is classified as 1er Cru, made up of 19 different climats.
Along with Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, the village forms what is known as "The Golden Triangle", reputed to produce the finest white wines in existence. Here, Chardonnay finds a perfect terroir, gently sloping and ideally exposed to the east or south, composed of limestone and marl.
The grapes were pressed slowly, as a whole crop, in a pneumatic press to obtain a must of the highest possible quality. The must underwent a 24-hour settling process before being racked for alcoholic fermentation. The lees were stirred once a week to develop the wine's roundness and aromatic potential. The wine was then matured in oak barrels for 16 months (20% new barrels).
