Since 1973, the Château de Meursault estate has been owned by André Boisseaux, founder of the Patriarche\/Kriter group, who renovated the château. As a result, the château remains not only the largest but also certainly the most beautiful château in Burgundy. All Château de Meursault wines are magnificent and are gems from the various villages of the Côtes de Beaune, including wines from Burgundy's most renowned vineyards, such as Meursault Charmes, Beaune Clos du Roi, and Savigny les Peuillets. In addition, regional and communal appellations are produced such as Meursault, Savigny and Aloxe Corton.","products":[{"product_id":"chateau-de-meursault-clos-du-chateau-chardonnay","title":"Chateau de Meursault Clos du Chateau Chardonnay","description":"A beautiful château with all the authentic characteristics of Burgundy.

The wines are aged in both new oak barrels (approximately 35 percent) and in one- or two-year-old barrels. After aging for 12-15 months, the barrels are blended just before bottling. The result is a Chardonnay that appears a brilliant yellow in the glass. Its aroma is full and creamy, with notes of yellow fruit and minerals. The palate is full and powerful, with a beautiful depth. No woody aromas dominate, but rather fruity notes of grapefruit, citrus, and tropical fruits such as pineapple, peach, kiwi, and apricot, complemented by light woody notes from the barrel aging. A pure and Burgundian Chardonnay.","brand":"Fourcroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775765844047,"sku":"6356","price":61.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/chateau-de-meursault-clos-du-chateau-chardonnay_6356.webp?v=1770109518"},{"product_id":"chateau-de-meursault-savingny-les-beaune-blanc-2023","title":"Château de Meursault Savigny-Lès-Beaune White 2023","description":"\u003ch2 data-end=\"83\" data-start=\"0\" data-section-id=\"xju0kf\"\u003eChâteau de Meursault Savigny-Lès-Beaune Blanc 2023 Savigny-Lès-Beaune, France\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"697\" data-start=\"85\"\u003eChâteau de Meursault Savigny-Lès-Beaune Blanc 2023 is a refined white Burgundy for Chardonnay lovers who appreciate freshness, roundness, and subtle oak.
