The producer

Château de Meursault is a historic and prestigious wine estate located in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, known for producing some of the region’s most esteemed white and red wines. The château dates back to the 11th century, and its vineyards, which span over 60 hectares, include holdings in some of the most renowned appellations, such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Pommard. Château de Meursault is celebrated for its commitment to traditional winemaking techniques, combined with modern innovations that enhance the expression of the unique terroirs. The estate’s wines are known for their elegance, complexity, and balance, with their white wines, particularly the Meursaults, offering rich, minerally profiles with vibrant acidity, while their reds, like those from Pommard, are structured, with deep fruit flavors and fine tannins. Under the current ownership of the Halley family, Château de Meursault continues to uphold its reputation for quality, producing wines that are highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs around the world.

The wine

Château de Meursault's Meursault 1er Cru 'Perrières' 2017 is a superb example of Burgundy’s ability to craft exceptional white wines from one of the most prestigious Premier Cru sites in Meursault. The 2017 vintage benefited from a relatively cool and dry growing season, which allowed the Chardonnay grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, preserving their natural acidity while developing complex flavors. The wine showcases a brilliant golden hue and an aromatic bouquet of citrus fruits, green apple, and white flowers, with underlying notes of flint, crushed stones, and subtle oak. On the palate, it is both powerful and refined, with a lively acidity that balances the rich, creamy texture. The minerality of the Perrières vineyard shines through, giving the wine a distinctive elegance and a long, precise finish. This vintage is already approachable, offering a beautifully balanced expression of fruit, acidity, and minerality, yet it also has the potential to age gracefully, gaining further complexity over the years. Château de Meursault's Meursault 1er Cru 'Perrières' 2017 is a testament to the quality of both the vineyard and the vintage, making it a standout choice for lovers of fine Burgundy whites.

We choose our wines based on a range of criteria (see how we choose our wines) of which critic scores is just one. Rather than simply highlight the best score to promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a 92/100 average critic score or better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add individual critic scores to our website in the future.
