A stroll through the large cellars of Meursault will allow you to discover the "underbelly" of the village: as early as the 11th century, the monks of Cîteaux settled in Meursault (21 Côte d'Or, Burgundy) where they cultivated vines and built cellars and barns. These buildings were constructed in the grounds of today's Château de Cîteaux. The Château de Cîteaux dates from 1865, and was built over magnificent vaulted cellars dating from the 17th and 19th centuries, which you will be able to explore.
The Domaine Delagrange cellars are unique in that they are two-storey, a rare architectural feature in the Côte-d'Or.
The Domaine Ropiteau cellars, also located in the centre of the village in the former Hospices de Beaune estate, are among the most prestigious in the region, with 900 barrels being vinified in the cellars.
Finally, the Robert de Grancey Cellar - Meursault Town Hall: a former fortified castle built in 1337, where several scenes from the film "La Grande Vadrouille" with Bourvil and Louis de Funès were filmed (1966), is built on a fine 14th-century cellar. You can also see the birth certificate of the building on one of the foundation stones.
At the end of this guided tour, a tasting of Meursault will delight your taste buds and caress your palate with its subtle and enchanting aromas.
