2020 Domaine Michelot Meursault Narvaux

The domain has been owned by the Michelot family for 6 generations. The domain now covers more than 19 hectares, including a number of prestigious 1er cru wines. Michelot consciously chooses to limit anti-disease treatments of the vines. They prefer a carefully planned program of plowing to keep the soil healthy. The harvest in the vineyards is done by manual selection of the best grapes. To maintain their independence as growers and winemakers, they are also not part of an organized system of organic viticulture. Today, Nicolas Mestre is the winemaker. With his cool hair he looks like a hip Kiwi winemaker. This is no coincidence: he learned the tricks of the trade in Marlborough, among other places. Today Nicolas produces finer and more mineral wines, with more remontage, less pigage and batonnage and less new oak (15% on average). According to them, the wines should evolve with contemporary eating habits with less buttery and fatty dishes.

This plot is located at the top of the hill, above the Meursault Premier Cru Genevrières, on clay-limestone soil and a rocky subsoil (very hard white rocks), with numerous fractures that allow the roots of the vine to circulate these white limestones. The southern location of the plot (0.79he), combined with a regular slope of 20%, ensures very good ventilation of the harvest, resulting in a ripe and still very healthy harvest. In the nose and mouth we often find aromas of candied orange (or other citrus fruits).
