Domaine Michelot

The estate has been owned by the Michelot family for 6 generations. The estate is now more than 19 hectares in size, including a number of prestigious 1er cru wines. Michelot deliberately 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.

In order 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 head of 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 brings finer and more mineral wines, with more reassembly, less pigeage and batonnage and less new oak (15% on average). According to them, the wines should evolve with today's eating habits with less buttery and fatty dishes.
