The Cistercian Cellars
Beneath the Château de Cîteaux, 12th-century Cistercian cellars are revealed, bearing witness to nine centuries of winemaking history. In this place intimately tied to the vineyards of Meursault, tastings and oenological experiences invite you to discover the great terroirs of Burgundy in a different way.

Cistercian cellars in the heart of Meursault
The story of the Château de Cîteaux begins underground. Long before the Château was built in the 19th century, the monks of the Cîteaux Abbey excavated these vaulted cellars to vinify and store the wines of Meursault.
Among the oldest Cistercian cellars in France, they still tell the deep bond that unites the estate to the vine. The coolness of the stone, the subdued light, and the centuries-old vaults create an intimate atmosphere, conducive to discovery and sharing.
A few steps away, the iconic plots of Meursault continue this dialogue between the Château, the Burgundian vineyard, and those who shape it. The great appellations of the Côte de Beaune reveal themselves in a setting steeped in memory, where wine becomes a gateway to the history and landscapes of Burgundy.


Experiences: Burgundy wine tasting
Every Friday and Saturday at 5:30 PM, our sommelier welcomes you to the Château's Cistercian cellars for an intimate Burgundy wine tasting.
Throughout this wine-tasting experience, she guides you in discovering the appellations, climats, and expressions unique to the great Burgundian terroirs. A special encounter to learn how to observe, smell, and taste wine, while understanding the influence of the soils, grape varieties, and the work of the winemakers.
