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.
A beautifully defined bouquet with notes of nuts and honey, the palate is succulent, rich and creamy, more in the old style of Michelot. This takes me back! There is opulence and fatness, a trait of the 2023 vintage, but there is balance too with a lemon zest streak laced through the core. Beautiful!
Fermented in tank and barrel, with 10% new oak and using a variety of barrels. 1/3 in 500 litre foudres, 1/3 in traditional Burgundy 228 litre barriques, and 1/3 in grès pots. The wine is aged in barrel for 12 months and then for a further 6 months in tank.
