Meursault is a French appellation located around the namesake village in Côte de Beaune (Côte-d’Or) region of Burgundy. The appellation consists of nineteen premier cru vineyards that produce some of the best expressions of Chardonnay grapes.
Although there are subtle differences in style, depending on the location, Meursault wines are typically rich, buttery, and creamy, while remaining fresh. They can usually age well, and they often display nutty flavors and aromas of toasted almonds and hazelnuts, as well as citrus, floral and mineral nuances.
