Meursault Vaucher Père et Fils 1991
This 1991 white wine is produced by Vaucher Père et Fils and holds the Appellation Meursault Contrôlée classification. The 1991 vintage in this area was characterized by rainy and uneven conditions, resulting in few good bottles being produced. Operating as a négociant-éleveur, Vaucher Père et Fils presents this wine from one of France's most historic winemaking areas.
The wine originates from Meursault, an appellation situated in the heart of the Côte de Beaune within the Burgundy region of eastern France. Burgundy's viticultural landscape was originally shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped the area's countless terroirs. The region has made terroir an art form through its intricate system of climats. While Meursault does not feature any Grand Cru vineyards, it is home to many highly regarded Premier Cru sites. The characteristic limestone soils, stretching from Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, form the foundation of the local viticulture.
Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay, this wine represents one of the world's most recognized green grape varieties. Chardonnay is the defining white grape of Burgundy and is also widely cultivated in other prominent regions such as Champagne, California, and Oregon. The Meursault vineyards are particularly famous for their Chardonnay production, operating under the French quality control system that has been in place since 1935.
