Meursault is one of the most celebrated villages of the Côte de Beaune, renowned for Chardonnay with a naturally generous, textured and expressive character. Unlike the more overtly mineral and linear style often associated with Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault is distinguished by its richness, breadth and remarkable aromatic complexity.
The vineyards are planted on limestone and marl soils, with variations in clay and soil depth contributing to the diversity of the village. These terroirs give the wines both richness and the mineral freshness needed to maintain balance.
Meursault Chardonnay typically shows ripe apple, pear, lemon and white peach, accompanied by almond, hazelnut and subtle buttery or creamy notes. With bottle age, the wines develop greater depth, revealing toasted nuts, brioche and delicate spice.
The village has a long history of viticulture and is particularly famous for its Premier Cru vineyards, including Les Perrières, Genevrières and Les Charmes. Although Meursault has no Grand Cru vineyards, its finest Premier Crus can rival the complexity and ageing potential of wines from more highly ranked sites.
At its best, Meursault combines generosity with precision — rich and silky without heaviness, supported by fresh acidity, fine minerality and a long, elegant finish.
Le Limozin is a well-known vineyard site in Meursault, situated on the lower slopes of the village. The name reflects the limestone-rich character of the soils, which contribute freshness and mineral definition to the naturally generous style of Meursault Chardonnay.
The site benefits from a favourable position that allows Chardonnay to develop ripe fruit while retaining good acidity. Wines from Le Limozin typically show lemon, pear, yellow apple, white peach and white flowers, with almond and subtle creamy notes adding complexity.
On the palate, the wine combines Meursault’s characteristic richness and texture with a clean mineral backbone. Fresh acidity keeps the wine energetic, while the limestone character brings a saline, focused finish.
Compared with the more elevated and linear sites of Puligny-Montrachet, Le Limozin tends to offer a broader, rounder and more approachable expression of Chardonnay, while retaining the elegance and freshness associated with Meursault.
Le Limozin is a classic expression of Meursault — generous and textured, yet balanced by lively acidity, fine minerality and a long, elegant finish.
2024 was a cool, challenging and highly terroir-transparent vintage in Meursault. A very wet spring and summer created significant disease pressure and reduced yields, but a warmer, drier September allowed the grapes to finish ripening with excellent freshness and balance.
The wines show a distinctly fresh and mineral profile, with lemon, green and yellow apple, white flowers and subtle almond notes. Vibrant acidity gives the vintage energy and precision, while Meursault’s natural richness provides texture and depth.
Compared with the warmer 2022 and 2023 vintages, 2024 is less opulent and more linear, favouring freshness, salinity and clarity of terroir. The best wines are elegant and focused, with the structure to develop beautifully in bottle.
2024 Meursault is a vintage of freshness, precision and balance — less about power, more about purity, minerality and long-term elegance.
