MEURSAULT

The hard Comblanchian limestone which disappears deep underground around Nuits-Saint-Georges reappears here where, as one
moves southward, red wines give way to whites. Nowhere in the Côte de Beaune does the Chardonnay grape do better than it does
here. Along the village streets are a succession of little houses belonging to the vineyard workers, mixed with more imposing
dwellings. The stone-work on the 53 metre-high church tower looks like it could be the work of fairies. The excellent soils were
planted with vines by the monks of Cîteaux as early as 1098. Meursault has 19 Premiers Crus Climats.
