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

Located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Château de Meursault is one of Burgundy’s most historic and emblematic estates. With origins dating back to the 11th century, the château is renowned not only for its architectural heritage but also for its vast network of underground cellars, among the most impressive in the region.

The estate farms an extensive vineyard holdings across some of Burgundy’s most prestigious appellations, including Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, and Beaune. Its terroirs are defined by limestone-rich soils, which give the wines their hallmark tension, minerality, and ageing potential.

Chardonnay is at the heart of the domaine, producing wines that express the classic Meursault profile: ripe orchard fruits, citrus, hazelnut, and subtle buttery notes, supported by a textured palate and a long, mineral finish. The reds, crafted from Pinot Noir, offer elegance, red berry fruit, and fine tannins, reflecting the finesse of the Côte de Beaune.

In recent years, Château de Meursault has undergone significant investment and renewal, with a strong focus on precision viticulture and refined winemaking techniques. The goal is clear: to elevate the expression of each terroir while preserving the estate’s historic identity.

Château de Meursault embodies the essence of Burgundy—heritage, terroir, and craftsmanship, delivering wines that are both classic in style and increasingly precise in execution.
