Description
  • 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

    With an intense ruby color, our Meursault has a discreet toasty smell revealing undergrowth and red berries notes. The mouth is round with blackcurrant aromas and very supple tanins.

    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.
