Wine maker notes After the hand-picked harvest, long and progressive pressing allows to select only the riches of the juices. The static racking which lasts for 12 hours helps to clarify the must which is directly put into the oak barrels for the further alcoholic fermentation. In order to take advantage of the complexity of each terroir, all the parcels are pressed, vinified and aged separately. An accurate control of every barrel allows obtaining the maximum of richness, complexity and balance in accordance with each vintage. The wines are aged in new oak barrels (about 35%) as well as in the barrels of one or two years. After the aging of 12-15 months, the barrels are blended together just before the bottling.
Producer Origin of the castle . . . The origin of the Chateau de Meursault goes back to the 11st century. In 1666, the owner of Pierre de Blancheton, lawyer at the Parliament of Burgundy will remain there until the Revolution. At the beginning of the 19th century the property was extended, partly under the impetus of the Serre family, who carried out major architectural modifications and who considerably developed the vineyards of the estate INHERITANCE Through the lottery of succession, the estate of the Chateau of Meursault was bequeathed to the Count de Moucheron, who left it to his eldest son, Etienne. During this era, the estate was a quarter of its present size. In 1973, Andre Boisseaux owner of the Kriter Group and the Maison Patriarche bought the Chateau of Meursault and completely restored it. At the end of 2012, this Burgundian gem was acquired by the Halley family, which wants to continue and expand the influence of the Chateau in France and abroad. Today, the Chateau of Meursault is one of the most beautiful and largest properties in Burgundy.
