Profile

ムルソー村に拠点を置くシャトー・ド・ムルソーは、コート・ド・ボーヌの銘醸地に広大な自社畑を擁する歴史ある造り手である。その最大の特徴は、アロース・コルトン、ボーヌ、そして本拠地のムルソーという3つの村を軸に、計13ものプルミエ・クリュのみで構成される極めて高いポートフォリオを保持している点にある。特にボーヌ村における存在感は圧倒的で、レ・フェーヴやレ・グレーヴ、レ・トゥーロンといった名高い1級畑を数多く所有する。さらにポマールのレ・グラン・ゼプノやヴォルネイのクロ・デ・シェーヌ、ムルソーのレ・シャルムなど、各村を代表する一級畑からそのテロワールを表現している。特級畑こそ持たないものの、厳選された13のプルミエ・クリュに特化した所有形態は、ドメーヌの確固たるアイデンティティとなっている。

Premier Cru

History

Château de Meursault is a mid-sized estate based in Aloxe-Corton — the northernmost commune of the Côte de Beaune, sharing the Corton hill with Pernand-Vergelesses and Ladoix-Serrigny. Despite the name, the estate's holdings span seven communes, making it one of the broader multi-village portfolios among Côte de Beaune producers. The founding history is not well documented publicly.

Winemaking Approach

Thirteen Premier Cru parcels across seven communes — Aloxe-Corton, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Beaune, and Pommard among them. That range means the estate works a wide spectrum of Côte de Beaune soils and exposures within a single house style.

2024	★★★★★	Drink early	Frost, hail and mildew made Pinot extremely difficult. Yields fell to a quarter at worst, with overall thin, challenging quality.
2023	★★★★★	Drink early	A large crop with seductive fruit but inconsistent density. Approachable, charming reds for early-to-medium drinking.
2022	★★★★★	Hold	Despite the heat, perfumed reds with refined tannins seamlessly integrated with fruit — a recent benchmark vintage.

2014	★★★★★	Drink now	Fresh, lively and energetic reds with more length than amplitude — elegant, classic Côte de Beaune in style.
