"A historic vintage from the estate, this Beaune 1er Cru will be irresistible both now and in 15 years!"
“A very direct and aromatic nose, with great purity on the palate—a style quite different from the whites. Crisp and relatively light, but satisfying for those who aren’t primarily looking for fullness. Long. 2029–2040” (Jancis Robinson 2024)

Wine rated (2026 guide) 95/100
Rated estate (2021 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
Under the leadership of Olivier Halley, Stéphane Follin-Arbelet, and cellar master Emmanuel Escutenaire, this estate—which expanded to 65 hectares in 2018—has been undergoing a revolution in recent years in terms of its working methods and its interpretation of the nature of its terroirs. Thirty hectares are currently farmed organically, with the goal of converting the entire estate to organic farming within three years. Substantial investments made over the past three years in high-performance viticultural equipment have driven this progress. The white wines exhibit both a lively tension and a generous mouthfeel, even though 2018 may not be their best vintage. The reds—whose berries are destemmed and optically sorted before undergoing low-temperature fermentation followed by 12 to 15 months of aging in barrels (25 to 40% new)—offer a succulent, full-bodied, and deep character, with the 2018s being particularly racy. This represents an absolutely impressive progression in a remarkably short time for an estate of this size.

About the estate:
The iconic Château de Meursault, a mecca for Burgundian tourism and wine folklore—where the famous Paulée is celebrated the day after the Hospices de Beaune auction—has changed hands many times: it belonged to the Pierre de Blancheton family until the Revolution; then to the Serre family in the 19th century; ; the family of the Count of Moucheron; and the Boisseaux family (Patriarche estate) starting in 1973. In December 2012, another change took place: the Halley family purchased the estate. Today, it comprises 65 hectares of vineyards in the process of converting to organic farming. At the helm of the winery: Emmanuel Escutenaire.
