Chateau de Meursault - Corton Grand Cru 'Les Marechaudes' Red 2021

Grape

100% Pinot Noir

Tasting notes

The 2021 Corton Grand Cru Les Maréchaudes from Château de Meursault embodies the finesse and depth of the vintage. The cooler, more classical season has yielded a wine of striking aromatic purity, marrying black cherry and redcurrant with subtle nuances of spice and forest floor.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet layered, with fine-grained tannins and a lively acid backbone that brings poise and definition. The finish is long and refined, suggesting excellent potential for graceful maturation.

More About The Winery

The Château de Meursault estate comprises 60 hectares of vines. It is one of the Côte de Beaune’s most richly endowed estates, indeed no less than 23 hectares of its holdings lie in Premier Cru and Grand Cru appellations. The estate’s origins go back to the 11th century. From 1666 it was owned by Pierre de Blancheton, a lawyer in the Burgundy Parliament, and it remained in his family until the Revolution. At the beginning of the 19th century the estate was enlarged, mainly thanks to the Serre family who made important modifications to the Château’s architecture and considerably developed the vineyards. After passing down through successive generations, it came into the hands of the Count of Moucheron, who left it to his eldest son, Étienne. At that time the estate was about a quarter of its size today. In 1973 André Boisseaux, founder of the Kriter Group, bought the Château and devoted a lot of energy and taste to its restoration. Finally in 2012 the estate was acquired by Olivier Halley, a wine lover who has always had a passionate conviction towards the greatness of Burgundy’s vineyards.
