Meursault (French pronunciation: [mœʁso]) is a commune in the Côte-d'Or department and region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in eastern France. Etymology. The oldest attested form of the toponym Meursault dates from 1094, as Murassalt and Mussalt, in a charter by the Cluny Abbey. However, these forms may have been a scribal error, given that in the attested forms of the toponym, the letter a does not appear in the second syllable of the toponym. The same letter does not reappear until the 13th century, which suggests that the charters of the abbey were recopied during that era.
