Domaine Michelot has been in the Michelot family for six generations and, having increased in size over the years, now comprises more than 19 hectares which include a number of prestigious 1er cru wines. The domaine achieved widespread recognition in the 60s under the direction of the charismatic Bernard Michelot and this spirit and tradition flourishes and grows in the hands of the current generation. The Meursault vineyards are made up of a number of “terroirs” – parcels of land with individual characteristics of soil, drainage and orientation – and their distinct personalities yield a diverse range of wines.
Ripe, expressive and generous on the nose with Canteloup melon, Braeburn apple, pineapple, and honey, all laced with thrilling quenching acidity, intense minerality, and notes of vanilla. This is a very impressive, richly textured and powerful wine, yet the overall feeling is of a wine that has complexity and finesse throughout. . Quite outstanding!
Produced in a mixture of 70% barrique (228 litre) of which 50% is new, and 30% large oak barrels, of which 15% is with a small proportion fermented in neutral clay eggs to add extra purity to the wine.
