Known to offer a magical balance of smoothness and freshness, Meursault's quality is hard to rival. The village lies in the middle of C?te de Beaune, just south of?Volnay. Meursault is said to mean ?mouse?s jump? because in the past the plots producing?Pinot noir?and those producing?Chardonnay?were no more than a mouse?s jump from one another. Today the village is almost exclusively Chardonnay. A tiny bit of Pinot noir is produced here with the best coming from Les Santenots on its northern side near Volnay.
Wines from Meursault are typified by aromas and flavors of ripe melon, hazelnut, and lemon custard, and tend to be broader and more textural than wines from neighboring villages. Aging in 30-35% percent small French oak barrels lends notes of toast and vanilla.
