The origins of Château de Meursault date back to the 11th century. The Château has a rich history and has had many owners. In 1973, the Château was purchased by André Boisseaux. At the end of 2012, this Burgundian gem was taken over by the Halley family and this family still knows how to advise and assist with these beautiful vineyards to this day. Unusually for the region, the house was named after the village where the now world-famous wines that may bear the name Meursault come from.
