Château de Meursault
シャトー・ド・ムルソー
A millennium of Burgundy history: 12th-century Cistercian cellars, 38 appellations, certified organic since 2022
One of Burgundy's most historic estates with a history dating to the 11th century, Château de Meursault's cellars were first dug by Cistercian monks in the 12th century and remain among the largest in Burgundy. After a thorough restoration by André Boisseaux of Maison Patriarche from 1973, the Halley family has managed the estate since 2012, overseeing a transformation toward organic viticulture (certified with the 2022 vintage). The estate's 60+ hectares span 38 appellations including 20 Premiers Crus and 6 Grands Crus, all organically farmed. With up to 6 different cuvées from a single appellation, the château offers extraordinary depth of terroir exploration.
