This wine is made by Château de Meursault which offers an exceptional setting located on the road of the Grands Crus, 8 kilometres from Beaune and 40 minutes from Dijon, capital of the Dukes of Burgundy. The Estates has 35 appellations on 110 plots.

The Château de Meursault (the building), stretches over 10 hectares including Château, conservatory, dovecote, outbuildings, winery, cellars, park, the Clos vineyard, Les Clous river and pond. The property has the dual specificity of being a Burgundy winery and having the name of the eponymous appellation! Indeed, even though there are many wine chateaux in the Bordeaux region, it is not the case for Burgundy where it is quite uncommon to have the name of a Château associated to a winery. 

Traditional skills are being enriched by modern viticulture and winemaking techniques. As a result, the wines represent all the typical features and complexity linked to their terroir. They are present in the most prestigious Michelin Star restaurants in France and are distributed in Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, China, Hong-Hong, Japan, Australia… Moreover, the wines from Château de Meursault are highly appreciated by the wine critics in France, the United States and England. Even though the name of the Château suggests that it produces mainly white wines, red wines production is equally important with Pommard, Volnay, Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune and Corton. The red wines of the Château have deep ruby color, beautiful aromas and are dense and delicious on the palate. The white wines that can be considered as the jewels of Côte de Beaune, have a golden color and are elegant and fine.

The wine is imported by Terlato Wines in the United States.

For half a century, Terlato Wines International has had the pleasure of bringing some of the world's finest wines to the American table. Today, Terlato markets one of every eight bottles of wine over $14 a bottle, sold at America's finest restaurants and wine stores. With a global portfolio of more than 40 world-class brands, the depth and breadth of the portfolio balances segment leaders with small, highly regarded brands considered to be jewels among their peers, as well as brands with strong growth potential.

About London Wine Competition

The London Wine Competition is an international wine competition organized by Beverage Trade Network. The competition looks to recognise, reward and help promote wine brands that have successfully been created to identify with and target a specific wine drinker.

For any wine brand to earn its place on a retailer’s shelf or a restaurant’s wine list -  and then vitally stay there - they need to be marketable and consumer-driven and not just produced in the general hope it can find enough people willing to sell and buy it.
