Ever since the time of the Cistercians, exceptional white wines have been produced on this legendary terroir. In fact, the name dates back to 1098, the year the famous monastery of Cîteaux was founded. The monks were given a few vines in this village at the time, and they quickly realised their tremendous potential. The soils of Meursault are exceptionally varied. The appellation’s various terroirs offer unrivalled diversity and richness, even though the exposure to the sun is generally consistent. This is why Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils produces this cuvée, a blend of six different plots, all vinified separately: Les Meix Chavaux,
Les Chevalières, Les Forges, En la Barre, Les Corbins and Les Durots.
