Domaine Michelot

Domaine Michelot has been in the Michelot family for six generations and, having increased in size over the years, now comprises more than 19 hectares which include a number of prestigious 1er cru wines. The domaine achieved widespread recognition in the 60s under the direction of the charismatic Bernard Michelot and this spirit and tradition flourishes and grows in the hands of the current generation. The Meursault vineyards are made up of a number of “terroirs” – parcels of land with individual characteristics of soil, drainage and orientation – and their distinct personalities yield a diverse range of wines.
On the bouquet, the Michelot style is immediate. Juicy, expressive and immediately welcoming, this is a wine that is joyful to drink! The softly textured palate mirrors these flavours beautifully, offering stewed dessert apple, honey and citrus notes with a steely quenching acidity, that freshens the palate and leaves an impression of polished elegance and subtlety.
Great with smoked salmon and avocado sushi.
