Domaine Ballot-Millot

Located in Meursault. A beautiful family estate where generations have followed one another since the 17th century. Today, Charles Ballot is at the helm. The young Charles Ballot took over the domaine from his father Philippe in 2000. His estate consists of about 30 hectares. Mainly Chardonnay from the best terroirs from Meursault and Chassagne Montrachet, but also Pinot Noir from Pommard, Volnay and Chassagne. Charles Ballot is now one of the very best in his region.

Tradition and innovation are the key words here. Charles respects 'terroir', prunes for lower yields and cherishes his old vines. He also invests in modern techniques and materials to ensure the very best quality. He works according to traditional culture, such as complete fermentation on wood and low yields. In the wine cellar, he opts for a soft, slow pressing and a slow vinification. All his wines are fully fermented and aged in oak for 12 months. For the most part, he uses old barrels of 1 or 2 years. The road to full organic cultivation has now begun.
