Meursault
Mersault, dubbed "the capital of Burgundy white wines", is located between Volnay and Puligny-Montrachet. This local Côte de Beaune appellation was established in 1937. It covers 19 climats classified as Premiers crus and villages. These are clear, brilliant, unctuous white wines with intense aromas and a good balance between fatness and acidity. In this guide, we'll take a look at the terroir of the Mersault appellation and the best producers in this classification of wines

Terroir of Mersault appellation
The Mersault vineyard covers around 400 hectares, 95% of which is given over to Chardonnay. Red wine production is limited to just a few plots. According to history, the Cîteaux monks were the first wine-growers in the 11th century in this commune dotted with prestigious châteaux. The Mersault appellation takes its name from the historic estate, the impressive Château Mersault. The eponymous château is world-famous 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 best terroirs in the appellation are composed of Jurassic marl and marly limestone. This is the ideal terroir for Chardonnays, the main grape variety in this appellation, as it allows 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

-Domaine Coche Dury: this estate produces exceptionally intense, full-bodied wines, with concentrated but never overpowering fruit. The palpable acidity is well balanced. It is one of the most sought-after estates internationally because of its style of Mersault wines. At its best, its wines have a pleasant nutty flavour, a creamy, silky, full-bodied texture with notes of exotic fruit, lemon peel, mineral elements and a hint of truffle aroma. Its Grands Crus plots are all located in Mersault, while its vineyard sites are spread across the communes of Mersault, Puligny-Montrachet, Monthélie, Auxey-Duresses, Volnay and Corton Charlemagne. This producer also makes AOC village wines. 
-Domaine d'Auvernay: this small 4-hectare vineyard belongs to the Leroy empire. It includes two Grands Crus in the Côte de Nuits and plots in the Chardonnay terroirs of the Côte de Beaune. The estate adopts biodynamic principles and low yields to produce prestigious wines with a precise, elegant and rich style. Because of the tiny quantities produced by the estate, the wines are snapped up as soon as they are released. It is rare to find old or recent vintages, as the estate prefers not to offer them for sale unless they are ready to be enjoyed. On our website, you'll be spoilt for choice for vintages dating from 1998 to 2015. The rarity of these old vintages makes them a good deal for collectors and connoisseurs, or for those wishing to build up a cellar.

-Bernard Bonin: this 7-hectare estate produces white wines from its vineyards in Mersault and Puligny-Montrachet. He also follows biodynamic methods. His wines have a delicate nose, with intense flavours of green apples, lemon peel, white peaches, cheese rind and hints of matches. The texture is vibrant with lively acidity and a finish marked by a hint of mineral elements.
-Maison Leroy: this négociant/winemaker in the Côte des Nuits region produces a range of wines from iconic terroirs such as Clos de Vougeot, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Le Chambertin, Musigny....

-Pierre Morey: this 10-hectare family estate, founded over 2 centuries ago, is also one of Burgundy's most emblematic vineyards. It has been producing biodynamic wines since 1998. Its wines feature pure, airy aromas of citrus blossom and mineral notes, with a lovely mouthfeel of vibrant, tight or muscular flavours on the long, lemony finish.
-Comtes Lafon: this Burgundy wine estate produces whites and reds that are much appreciated by connoisseurs. It has also applied the principle of biodynamic viticulture since 1998. The Montrachet is considered the jewel in Lafon's crown. But the Mersault Perrières and Mersault Goutte d'or on sale on this site are also a fine introduction to this producer's renowned range.
