Meursault 1er Cru

The Vine

Wine tips

Description

Located just South of Volnay and Pommard in the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is the most extensive southerly white wine commune of the Côte-d'Or. Surprisingly enough for an appellation of this quality, no Grand Cru exists, however the high quality of the 1er Cru more then compensates for this. Meursault comes from the word "Marsault", a variety of robust willow broadleaf valued for its rich tannin bark and wood resistant to weathering. Our Meursault 1er Cru is aged in handcrafted oak barrels made at our own cooperage. The wood helps to bring out the richness and the opulence of the wine.
