Pinot Blanc from Meursault — an extremely marginal variety in the Meursault vineyard, present in a few old parcels of Kimmeridgian clay-limestone in the Côte de Beaune — is exceptional since Meursault is almost exclusively the kingdom of Chardonnay. Its presence in a few non-clonal old vines is a historical curiosity.
