Côte de Beaune

A key wine-producing district of Burgundy in the east of France.

The Côte de Beaune area is the southern part of the Côte d'Or, the limestone ridge that is home to the great names of Burgundy wine. The Côte de Beaune starts between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune, and extends southwards for about 25 km to the river Dheune. The trend of producing red wines continues from the Côte de Nuits to the north, down through Beaune, although the wines become lighter and more perfumed. Farther south lie the great names of white Burgundy such as Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Product Details

Chateau de Meursault is owned by the Halley family since 2012 and comes with 148 acres of prime vineyards in the Cote de Beaune region with notable vineyards in many 1er Cru Climats.

2016 vintage is very good.

Manual sorting before destalking the grapes, followed by optic sorting in order to select the most beautiful the berries which are put into hermoregulated stainless steel vats for 15 to 18 days of cold maceration. Alcoholic fermentation lasts 5 to 6 days. The fermentation may be punctuated by push down and pumping over in order to obtain a soft and complete extraction. Ageing of 15 months in new oak barrels (33%) and in oak barrels of one or two years.

This cuvee is a blend from three plots, located in Savigny-lès-Beaune and Pommard. This cuvee offers a rich and generous Bourgogne with black fruits notes. The mouth is round with a great finish.

Food and wine pairings: Poached eggs in wine sauce, ham with Epoisses cream, and ouillettes
