Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru Château de Blagny – Côte de Beaune White Wine
The Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru Château de Blagny is an exceptional White Burgundy wine from the heart of the Côte de Beaune, produced exclusively from 100% Chardonnay. This prestigious Meursault 1er Cru is sourced from a monopole vineyard owned by Maison Louis Latour, making it one of the most sought-after expressions of Meursault available to buy online in the UK.
Situated at 320 metres altitude on a south-east facing slope, the vineyards of Château de Blagny overlook both Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, benefiting from excellent sunlight exposure and natural freshness. The terroir of Jurassic (Oxfordian) limestone and stony marl soils gives this wine its hallmark minerality, structure, and ageing potential.

Winemaking & Ageing
Traditional Burgundy Vinification
The wine is hand-picked at optimal ripeness and vinified using traditional Burgundian methods. Fermentation and ageing take place with carefully judged oak influence, enhancing complexity without masking the character of the fruit or terroir.
This meticulous approach results in a structured, elegant Meursault Premier Cru with depth, finesse, and excellent ageing capability.
Tasting Notes – Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru
The wine displays a bright, pale yellow colour with golden highlights. The nose is intense and refined, offering smoky and toasty aromas, subtle oak, and notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and white peach.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and remarkably long, revealing flavours of fresh almond, ripe stone fruit, and mineral tension, finishing with a distinctive resin-like, savoury persistence typical of top-class Meursault.
