Mersault, dubbed "the capital of Burgundy white wines", is located between Volnay and Puligny-Montrachet. This Côte de Beaune communal appellation status was instituted in 1937. It covers 19 climats classified as Premiers crus and village. These white wines are limpid, brilliant and unctuous, with intense aromas and a good balance between fatness and acidity. In this guide, we'll review the Mersault appellation terroir and the top producers in this wine classification

Terroir of Mersault appellation
The Mersault vineyard covers around 400 hectares, 95% of which is devoted to Chardonnay. Red wine production is limited to just a few parcels. According to history, the Cîteaux monks were the first winegrowers in the 11th century in this commune dotted with prestigious châteaux. The Mersault appellation takes its name from the impressive historic Château Mersault estate. The eponymous château is world-renowned for La Paulée, its legendary lunches celebrating the end of the harvest each year. It is also the largest owner in the appellation. The château produces Grands crus, Premiers crus and other appellations, as well as a monopole: Clos de Grands Charons.
The appellation's best terroirs are composed of Jurassic marl and marly limestone. The ideal terroir for Chardonnays, the main grape variety in this appellation, as it enables them to express all the finesse and potential of their aromas. These terroirs lie at an altitude of 260 m between east and south. The white wines in this appellation can be kept for 8 to 15 years, compared with 5 to 10 years for the reds
