Meursault
Meursault () is a Communes of France, commune in the Côte-d'Or Departments of France, 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. Later on, the toponym has been attested in various forms, such as ''Muresaldum'' (1119), ''Muressalt'' (1148), ''Muressaut'' (1155), ''Murissalt'' (1168), ''Muresauth'' (1168), ''Meuressault'' (1549), ''Murseau'' (1686), and finally ''Meursault'' (1713). Lebel suggests that ''Muressalt'' (1148) or ''Murissalt'' (1168) may have phonetically evolved from *''mureis salt'', which would h ...
