Meursault
Historically Meursault has produced only white wines, it would seem that the
soil - which is high in limestone- the aspect, or both have never been
suited to the red grape so there is no point trying. Today a vast number of
individual growers produce excellent white Burgundy in Meursault.
The village is large by Côte-de-Beaune standards. It plays host to the third
of the Trois Glorieuses feasts on the Monday after the Hospices de Beaune
auction; this is always a merry affair of locals, visitors and growers.
In the town medieval alleyways weave indiscriminately around impressive
historical buildings including the 17th Century Château de Meursault and a
15th century church with a spire rising 57 metres. In the central square
visitors will find the vestiges of a medieval fortress.
