Meursault wine

The Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) Meursault may be used for white wine and red with respectively Chardonnay and Pinot noir as the main grape varieties.

The AOC regulations also allow up to 15 per cent total of Chardonnay, Pinot blanc and Pinot gris as accessory grapes in the red wines,[3] but this is not very often practiced.

The style of white Meursault typically has a clear oak influence, which has led to descriptions such as "buttery" to be applied.

[6] There are several climats in Meursault classified as Premier Cru vineyards.

[2] In 2007, 96.97 hectares (239.6 acres) of the total Meursault vineyard surface consisted of Premier Cru vineyards, of which 0.82 hectares (2.0 acres) red Meursault Premier Cru.
