We have chosen to use the word investment, not to advise you to buy this or that bottle in order to make a capital gain in a few years' time, but rather to invest in certain estates or appellations that will be more difficult to access financially in a few years' time.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A CHARMING APPELLATION<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The appellation Meursault<\/a> is an appellation to dream about. It promises a quality wine label. An exceptional terroir and top-flight whites. <\/span>Like its companion Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, it is located in the C\u00f4te d'Or department. Only vines from the commune of Meursault can bear the name. The majority of Meursault's wines are white, but a few growers have Pinots Noirs, which are used to produce red wines. Of the 390 hectares of vines, only 10 hectares are planted with Pinots Noirs. <\/span>We call this appellation Charmeuse because Meursault wines are dry, fat, creamy whites with buttery notes. Ideal with fine dishes such as Ris de veau, soles or white fowl.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A GREAT TERROIR WITHOUT A GREAT VINTAGE!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Meursault appellation is a rather special one. <\/span>It has the reputation of being one of the world's great appellations, with some of the world's finest winemakers owning vines in Meursault, yet none of its climates are classified as Grand Cru. The appellation, which was instituted in 1937, rises to an altitude of 260 meters. Jurassic soil is sometimes mixed with magnesian limestone, but the finest climats are found on limestone marl. <\/span><\/p>\n

But then why, with all these skills, don't Meursault wines offer any great vintages? <\/span><\/p>\n

At first sight, this would seem to be the result of a disagreement between the various winegrowers' unions present in the commune, who were unable to agree on the delimitation of the climats. Today, however, it is recognized that certain climats, such as \"Perri\u00e8re du dessous\", \"Charmes dessus\" and \"les genevri\u00e8res\", deserve such recognition.<\/span><\/p>\n
