Description

The intensity and the refinement of a Volnay Premier Cru wine

The estate

With a heritage dating back over 1,000 years of history, the Domaine du Château de Meursault is a benchmark among Burgundy’s greatest wines. Extended by the Serre family at the beginning of the 19th century, the estate has belonged to the Halley family since 2012.
The Domaine du Château de Meursault reigns over 65 hectares of vineyards spread out over more than 110 plots in the heart of Burgundy’s Premier and Grand Crus that are uniquely grown on the Côte de Beaune, in the communes of Aloxe-Corton, Savigny-Les-Beaune, Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. The Château de Meursault is famously the owner of the prestigious Premier Cru "les Charmes Dessus," "Charmes," "Perrières" and has exclusive rights to "Clos des Grands Charrons."

The vineyard

The Premier Cru Clos des Chênes 2016 from Domaine du Château de Meursault is a Volnay wine that stems from a plot of 2.63 hectares on top of a hill over the village of Volnay.  The vines face east/south-east and rest on a white marl soil.

Winemaking and ageing

After the harvests, the grapes were sorted and destemmed. A second optic sorting was carried out by infrared cameras. The grapes were then put in vats over 15-18 days for a pre-fermentation cold maceration for 5-6 days, followed by an alcoholic maceration. After a pneumatic pressing with the juice separated, ageing for a period of 15 months was carried out in new casks (30%) and one-to-two wine casks.

Blend

Pinot noir (100%).
