Goedhuis, December 2022
From 7 hectares of vineyards just below the Château, the property’s signature wine is a tremendous example of the appellation. With open, creamy characters, there is a touch of fudge and crushed almonds. Bright fresh energy, lovely and unctuous on the finish.

Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 89-91
Mid yellow. A certain weight to the nose without going towards the buttery style. This is very poised on the palate, a clearcut white fruit, medium weight, no overt oak influence, and a balanced finish. Just a little more grip at the back than the Savigny. Drink from 2025-2028.

Château de Meursault has gone through some very exciting developments under the direction of Stéphane Follin-Arbelet, whose family themselves own a highly respected domaine in Aloxe Corton. The vineyards under the Château’s ownership cover an extraordinary 65 hectares, from Savigny Lès Beaune through to Meursault. In 2019 the estate was certified as fully organic, quite an achievement for a domaine of this size, covering so many fine appellations. Against the backdrop of the property’s historical origins, with Cistercian cellars dating back to the 12th century, this dynamic domaine is investing extensively in both the vineyards and the winery, reaching new heights in quality. Stéphane’s wines are classically made. The Chardonnay is fermented in barrel and aged on lees for 12 months before bottling. The reds are beautiful wines, with all the dimensions to age.Read less
Region
Meursault
Meursault is the first great white wine area that one stumbles upon on leaving Beaune. Unlike other white dominated appellations in Burgundy, Meursault has no grand cru vineyards. It nonetheless has significant flair and power which make up for this deficiency. Indeed, if tasted blind some of these wines could even surpass other Burgundian grand crus. They are no fainting daisies. This may partially be due to Meursault's lower water table which enables the roots to delve deep in the soil picking up many trace minerals and which further stresses the vines. In addition, the cellars are more profound and cooler, enabling long fermentations, which increase complexity and longevity. Some interesting red wines are also made.
