Domaine du Château de Meursault

The Domaine du Château de Meursault is a wine estate in the Burgundy region that spans multiple hectares of vineyards producing white wines from Chardonnay grapes. The property includes a castle building, extensive cellars, and rows of grapevines that shape the landscape.

The estate traces its roots to Cistercian monks from the 11th century who planted grapevines and established the foundations for winemaking here. Through generations, the property was enlarged and updated, with its current layout shaped by different periods of development.

The estate's name reflects its deep connection to winemaking, and visitors can observe the daily rhythms of work in the cellars where staff tend to aging wine. The spaces are filled with wooden barrels and equipment that tell the story of generations working the land.

Visitors can explore the estate on guided walks that lead through vineyard areas and underground storage spaces where you learn about wine production. It helps to wear comfortable shoes since you will walk over uneven terrain and stairs.

The vineyard has been moving toward more sustainable farming methods in recent years that support soil health and insect life across the land. These newer practices are visible to visitors in how the grapevines are cared for and the landscape is managed.
