Château Meursault

The history of Château de Meursault is closely linked to that of Burgundy. It all began in the 11th century (no less!), when the Capetian Robert I, Duke of Burgundy, granted the fiefdom of Moulin Foulot to one of his squires. It wasn’t until 1973, when it was restored, that the name Château de Meursault came into being. The year 2012 marked a turning point in its history, thanks to ambitious projects undertaken by the Halley family with the aim of restoring this Burgundy jewel to its rightful place. Since then, the eighteenth-century Italian-inspired residence has become an emblematic wine estate in Burgundy.

At Château de Meursault, you’re as much at home underground as in the great outdoors. And the vast park won’t deny it! With its avenue of chestnut trees, its ponds and its orchard, this English-style garden is sure to make you want to go green. Think you’ve seen it all? Wait until you’ve explored the gourmet vegetable garden and the riparian forest*. More than just a park, a small ecosystem awaits you at Château de Meursault. Surrounded by a vineyard containing more than 8 hectares of Chardonnay grapes .

*A natural vegetation bordering the watercourses, made up of trees, shrubs and plants that stabilise the banks, filter the water and shelter a rich biodiversity.

In the19th century, the owners of Château de Meursault decided to give the estate a refined look, in the spirit of Italian villas. Although it was completely renovated in 2024, the property still retains some elements of this southern architecture. With its arched windows and galleries opening onto the park in the style of a loggia, Château de Meursault pays homage to Tuscan classicism. Not forgetting its openness to nature, which completes this 100% dolce vita harmony.

From the estate’s huge terrace, your eyes are drawn to the vineyards stretching into the distance. This is the Clos du Château! Surrounded by a remarkable dry stone wall, this parcel of over 8 hectares is planted with Chardonnay grapes. Located in the prestigious Meursault appellation, it is the source of the château’s emblematic wine.
