Meursault Wine Region, France

The Meursault wine region is one of Burgundy’s most distinctive subregions. Meursault has a reputation around the world for producing some of France’s finest Chardonnay, despite holding no Grand Cru vineyards of its own – its very best Premier Cru sites, including Perrières, Genevrières and Charmes, are considered by many to rival Grand Cru quality. Rich, textured, and layered with citrus, stone fruit, hazelnut and butter notes, Meursault wines gain further complexity from barrel fermentation and lees ageing, balancing generosity with genuine elegance.
