2020 Domaine Michelot Puligny-Montrachet

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 vintage comes from 2 lots. One is located under the Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Perrières with clay-limestone soil on a gravel subsoil, the second plot is located under the Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Clavoillons on more clayey soil than the previous one. By blending the harvest we can obtain a wine with the minerality very characteristic of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation.
