After 3 consecutive nights of negative temperatures, a massive frost hit the Burgundian vineyard. The exceptional heat of the last few days of March had particularly stimulated the vine’s budding, making almost the entire vineyard vulnerable. In some plots with later budding, however, we hope to have some good surprises. We can already draw a conclusion on the 2021 vintage, it will be rare
The cellar is open from Monday to Friday and we will be delighted to welcome you and advise you on your purchases.
April 2021 : 10am-12pm ; 2pm-6pm from Monday to Friday
However, in accordance with current regulations, visits and tastings are no longer accessible to the public.

Climats de Bourgogne were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on 4 July 2015. The inscription is a recognition of the unique character of the Côte Viticole. Château de Meursault, as a territorial actor, must magnify this cultural landscape. With the reconstruction of this dry stone wall, we participate in the conservation and radiation of the Climats de Bourgogne. This ancestral technique is based on a fair organization of the stones between them without mortar binding and allows a fair regulation of the waters that can thus infiltrate naturally in our Grands Terroirs Bourguignons.
[/caption]During winter, the vines rest. It’s when we must shorten the branches grown the previous year, to prepare the future harvest on new branches. Pruning can be done during the rest period, avoiding periods of frost.
The Magazine GEO has published the list of the 12 most beautiful vineyards in France of which the Château de Meursault is a part.
"Wine lovers are familiar with the wine routes of France. But beyond the fame of their cellars, many vineyards deserve to be visited because they seem to be true havens of peace.”
