Buy Wine from Meursault 1er Cru

In the outskirts of Mersault we find narrow, winding streets heading Auxey and Monthélie, and in the north direction, the main road takes us directly to Puligny-Montrachet.

Meursault commune is divided into two very different parts: a small north sector, extension of the Côte de Monthélie-Volnay that falls smoothly towards the southeast. Here the soil is mainly limestone from Jurassic origin, covered by a brown layer of clay and stones. The states of Santenots and Les Plures are settled here. Red wine produced is sold as Volnay. In the south sector of the county, soil is lighter in colour and rockier. Vines are protected by the forests of the Montagne du Chatelet de Montmellian (Blagny). It is precisely near Blagny where the best crus can be found. Here the terroir is also of Jurassic origin (crumbled limestone and white marls). Les Perrières soil is the lightest and most rugged one from all the states classified as Premier Cru. Below this one we find Les Charmes, similar to the upper part of Dessus. The lower part of Les Charmes has a much deeper soil and a gentler slope. Next to this we find Les Genevrières premier cru, also split into Dessus and Dessous. The upper part (Dessus) has a thin superficial layer and a reddish and deeper soil beyond the plains. Nearby the state or Les Poruzots and above it Les Bouchères followed by the last of the Premiers Crus of this sector: Les Gouttes d'Or. Vineyards are planted in very rocky soils of red clay in their upper sections.

All in all, there are 133 hectares of grapevine belonging to the Meursault Premiers Crus, in contrast to the 310 hectares devoted to wine production at Meursault Village.

Meursault white wines, produced exclusively with Chardonnay, are dry, rich wines with sometimes nutty tastes. Meursault wine is wide, seldom sweet, wholly friendly, less strong but more bountiful compared to those from Puligny. Some years, harvest can lack acidity and berries are too heavy and plump. Meursault Villages wines when they are young, can be closed and restrained, although round in the mouth, mature and buttery. They endure well long wood-ageing, given that the wood is not new.
