A way to taste the Premier Cru level of the appellation without going into plot by plot detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Beaune hillside lines up a long series of Premiers Crus tiered west of the town, from Les Bressandes to the Clos des Mouches. Blending several of these climats gives a wine more complete than a village: the soil is stonier at mid slope, the drainage better, and the grapes reach a more regular ripeness. The result is a better structured Pinot Noir, with more concentrated fruit, a tannic frame that is still supple and a noticeably longer finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the critics say about this cuvée\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scores below cover the most recent vintages of the cuvée, all vintages taken together. The 2023 vintage was rated 91\/100 in Bourgogne Aujourd'hui and 92\/100 by VertdeVin, and it received a gold medal at the Frankfurt International Trophy. The 2022 also earns 91\/100 in Bourgogne Aujourd'hui.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChâteau de Meursault\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the finest estates of the Côte de Beaune. The Moulin Foulot fief, from which it comes, dates back to the 11th century. Bought in 2012 by Olivier Halley, the estate has since expanded its vineyard: 65 hectares spread over about a hundred plots, farmed under certified organic agriculture, which give five Grands Crus, twenty Premiers Crus and a dozen village and regional appellations. The estate sells entirely direct, 100 % of its production comes from its own vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Bourgogne, Côte de Beaune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beaune Premier Cru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château de Meursault\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 100 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep ruby, a clean robe with garnet highlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe cherry, crushed raspberry, violet, a touch of pepper and cocoa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A fleshy mid palate, coated tannins, a lingering finish on fruit and spices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and cellaring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe this Beaune Premier Cru at 15 to 17 °C.
