Region Profile: Meursault lies in the Côte de Beaune and is one of Burgundy’s most famous villages for Chardonnay. Its vineyards are planted largely on clay-limestone and marl-based soils, with subtle differences in slope, exposure, and soil depth creating variations in style. Compared with many neighboring white Burgundy appellations, it is particularly associated with wines that are broad, textured, powerful, and with mineral depth.
