Following
Walk in the Vineyard, Cellar Tour and Tasting at Domaine Jessiaume in Santenay, Côte de Beaune, with DG/ Winemaker William Waterkeyn - From Lyon to Paris: Total Immersion in Burgundy and Champagne 2023 by ombiasy WineTours
in Santenay, we stayed in the Côte de Beaune and drove to Meursault for a vineyard walk with Karoline Knoth, who lives with her husband in Meusault.
Meursault
The vineyard area totals 394 hectares. There are no Grand Cru vineyards
within Meursault, but several highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards.
With almost 100 percent, the production of white Meursault dominates.
The style of white Meursault typically has a clear oak influence, which
have led to descriptions such as "buttery" to be applied to powerful
examples of Meursault wines.
There are several climats in Meursault classified as Premier Cru
vineyards (97 hectares). They consist of two groups, one to the north of
the village Meursault, bordering on Volnay, and a larger group to the
south of the village, in the direction of Puligny-Montrachet and
Blagny.
Berry Bros and Rudd: There are more top producers here than in any other
commune of the Côte d’Or, and its wines are typically rich and savoury
with nutty, honeyed hints and buttery, vanilla spice from the oak.
Even though considerably larger than its southerly neighbours Chassagne
and Puligny, Meursault contains no Grands Crus. However its three best
Premiers Crus produce some of the region’s greatest whites.
Total Wine: The opulent white wines of Meursault are favorites of
Chardonnay fans. Meursault, which lies towards the southern end of
Burgundy’s larger Cote de Beaune region, has 19 designated Premier Cru
vineyards that reliably produce some of the world’s best white wines.
They are made in an elegant style with flavors and body from oak aging
perfectly integrated, balancing rich texture with bright acidity.
Meursault’s classic flavors of apple, nuts and butter are intensified by
careful aging.
Vivino.com: Situated in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy with vines planted on rich Comlanchian limestone, this is where Chardonnay has reached cult status. Today, Meursault makes more white wine than any other village in the Côte d’Or. Though there are no Grand Cru vineyards in Meursault, it is home to 19 Premier Cru sites. The classic description of of white Burgundy from Meursault will show flavors of butter and nuts that make the wines taste rich on the palate. Bargains can definitely be found at the village level.
Karoline Knoth
Karoline has a Diploma in European Ethnology and History from the
University of Würzburg and lives in Meursault with her husband who is
from Meursault. She knows the town and landscape like the back of her
hands. She did intensive research on the history of winemaking in
Meursault and published a book (Allons en vendage) on wine making in
Meursault during the 1930s. Her new book "Castles and Châteaux in Meursault" is about to be released.
She was a perfect guide to give us intimate
insights into a Burgundian wine village.
