The authentic expression of the Savigny-Les-Beaune terroir by Domaine du Château de Meursault

The estate

Founded in the 11th century, Domaine du Château de Meursault is an iconic figure of Burgundy. Spanning around 65 hectares across more than a hundred plots, the estate is now run by the Halley family, who acquired it in 2012. Under their leadership, the domaine has undergone a major environmental shift. Combining an exceptional historical heritage with demanding winegrowing practices, the domaine stands out for its commitment to preserving its terroirs.

The vineyard

The plots dedicated to this wine lie within the Savigny-Les-Beaune appellation. Ideally located on the upper part of the slopes, the vines benefit from excellent exposure. They thrive on clay-limestone soils, giving the terroir its unique mineral identity.

The vintage

2024 was marked by demanding weather conditions. The growing cycle began with an unsettled spring. Summer then brought rainfall, requiring constant vigilance. Late in the season, the return of restorative sunshine allowed the grapes to reach optimal aromatic ripeness and concentration ahead of a harvest carried out under the best conditions.

Winemaking and aging

The making of this Savigny-Les-Beaune Village white is approached with meticulous care, with winemaking geared towards achieving elegance and purity of fruit. Pressing is gentle, followed by aging in French oak barrels, which brings complexity and roundness to the wine while preserving its natural freshness.
