The Château of Meursault is one of the largest domains in Burgundy, literally and figuratively. It is in the 11th century that its history begins under the name of fief of the Moulin Foulot. It will pass from hand to hand over the centuries. In 2012, the Château of Meursault became the property of the Halley family. The vines of this huge estate are entirely harvested by hand. It is then Emmanuel Escutenaire, cellar master, who presides over the vinification and maturation of the wines. Each parcel is pressed, vinified and aged separately. The vineyard is cultivated in a sustainable manner, which has earned it the High Environmental Value label.
