Domaine Michelot is a historic winery located in Meursault, in the heart of Burgundy. This family estate has a wine-growing tradition dating back to the 19th century and is known for its excellent white wines, mainly produced from Chardonnay. The Michelot family now manages approximately 19 hectares of vineyards spread across some of the best terroirs in Meursault, including famous Premier Cru parcels such as Les Perrières, Les Charmes, and Les Genevrières.
Domaine Michelot’s wines are known for their rich, mineral expression, which is due to the unique chalky soils of the Meursault appellation. The estate has always taken a traditional approach to winemaking, while incorporating modern techniques to emphasize the purity of the fruit and the character of the terroir. The use of oak barrels during vinification contributes to the complexity and aging potential of the wines.
The style of the wines is characterized by a balance between full, creamy textures and lively acidity, which gives the wines freshness and elegance. Domaine Michelot’s wines are loved by connoisseurs and gourmets alike for their refined flavors of ripe fruit, citrus, and a subtle minerality, which only improve with age.
These wines are perfect for drinking young but also have the ability to mature and develop complexity.
