Meursault AOC

Meursault is Burgundy's greatest white wine village, producing Chardonnay of extraordinary richness and complexity from limestone soils. The wines combine hazelnut, butter, and cream with mineral freshness in a style that defines barrel-fermented Chardonnay globally. The Premier Crus Perrières, Genevrières, and Charmes are among the world's finest white wines and can age for two decades or more.
