The estate
The Domaine du Château de Meursault, whose modern vineyard took shape in 1973, is located in Meursault, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. Its vineyard extends over 67 hectares spread across around a hundred plots, including six grands crus and some twenty premiers crus. Since 2012, the estate has belonged to the Halley family, with Olivier Halley as its central figure, and is managed by Stéphane Follin-Arbelet. The estate has been certified organic since the 2022 vintage.

The vineyard
This Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru comes from the Champ Canet climat, where the estate farms a 58-are Chardonnay vineyard. Located at the top of the slope, this plot enjoys an easterly exposure and rests on very stony clay-limestone soils. Like the rest of the estate's vineyard, it is farmed according to organic principles.

The vintage
In the face of advancing global warming, the estate adapts its practices each year to harvest earlier and earlier, in order to preserve the freshness of the grapes and maintain a good balance in its wines. This vigilance guided the decisions made throughout the 2025 growing cycle.

Vinification and ageing
The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Champ Canet" 2025 is harvested by hand, followed by a meticulous sorting of the grapes. After pressing and settling, the wine ferments in oak barrels for 10 to 15 days, then is aged on its lees for 15 to 18 months, with lees stirring adjusted to the needs of the vintage.

Grape variety
This wine is made from Chardonnay.
