2022 Domaine Michelot Bourgogne Côte d'Or

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 Bourgogne Blanc is produced from plots located exclusively in the municipality of Meursault, on the border of the Meursault village appellation. The soil is clayey and calcareous and the subsoil consists exclusively of gravel. Entirely vinified in 500L barrels without new oak barrels. We just want fruit!

The vineyard exposure is South-East and, as is often the case in Burgundy, this is only a small plot of 3.74 hectares. The Domaine Michelot Bourgogne Côte d'Or is a fresh, crisp wine with the fruit of the Chardonnay. It accompanies refined starters and fish dishes and can also be opened very well as an aperitif! Character is very similar to Meursault Village.
