Château de Meursault
A château estate in the village of Meursault, renowned for its Chardonnay white wines. Its underground cellars were dug by monks between the 12th and 14th centuries.
Meursault is the most important white-wine village of the Côte de Beaune. The château estate owns vineyards in Meursault, Pommard, Volnay and other appellations. Visitors can walk into the vaulted cellars dug by monks, see rows of oak barrels, and taste several red and white wines in the tasting room. Tickets start at about 30 euros. The château's garden and vineyards can be enjoyed freely. In the village center, the town hall, with its colorful glazed-tile roof, was once a château, and there are many family-run wineries nearby. The village is about 8 km from Beaune and can be reached by bike.
