  • Situated just south of Volnay and Pommard in the Côte de Beaune, this vast appellation is usually known for its exceptional white wine also produces reds with great character. It is quite light in colour with a distinctive Pinot Noir nose packed with red fruit and scented flowers. The palate has a rich red-berry fruit character and the finish is long.

Wine tasting
  • Tasting Note
    Ruby red color, powerful and deep. Complex nose of blackberry, blackcurrant, wood and almond paste. Rich and structured wine with pleasant tannins and a good length, nice balance in mouth. This Meursault red 2009 needs two years in cellar for a better expression of its potential.Tasted July 2011.
  • Food Pairing
    Roasted duck - "coq au vin" - Beef "Bourguignon" - mature cheeses.


Press review
    • 1999 Meursault - Oxford Times - June 2003 :Although Meursault is normaly known for its whites, this red oddity is quite delicious with its ripe brambly, raspberry and strawberry fruit, a touch of spice and smoke satisfying weight and finish.
