Discover Domaine Michelot

Domaine Michelot, a historic estate rooted in Meursault for six generations, is a cornerstone of the Côte de Beaune. Now expertly led by Jean-François Mestre and his family, the domaine covers approximately 19 hectares primarily dedicated to the Meursault appellation. It boasts an exceptional vineyard heritage with renowned lieux-dits like Les Narvaux and Le Limozin, as well as prestigious Premier Crus such as Genevrières, Charmes, and Perrières.

Terroir and Characteristics

The terroir of Domaine Michelot is characterized by typical limestone-rich soils of the region, composed of chalky marl and clay that impart striking minerality to the wines. The temperate climate of the Côte de Beaune facilitates optimal ripening of Chardonnay, the emblematic grape of Meursault whites. The domaine embraces respectful viticulture and meticulous winemaking methods to showcase purity and the unique expression of each terroir.

Wine Profile

Domaine Michelot's white wines are celebrated for their elegance and freshness. The vinification emphasizes minerality and vibrant fruit expression, creating wines with precise and balanced styles, steering away from overly opulent profiles. The expertly managed barrel aging adds complexity and structure while preserving the distinct character of Meursault. On the palate, these wines are noted for their saline finish and impressive aging potential.

Food Pairings

The wines from Domaine Michelot pair beautifully with refined dishes such as sautéed langoustines, Bresse chicken with cream, Époisses cheese, and grilled fish. Their balance, finesse, and precision make them ideal companions for Burgundian cuisine and much more.

Which appellation should you start with to discover the Michelot selection?

Bourgogne Côte d’Or Clos de Montmeix 2021 is a good place to start with the regional appellation, presented here in a magnum. To explore Meursault directly, the heart of this selection, you can choose Les Narvaux 2020 or Grès 2021.

Which Michelot Premier Crus can be compared in the same vintage?

Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières and Perrières are both presented in the 2020 vintage, in 75 cl bottles. They allow you to compare two Meursault climats without changing producer or vintage; however, the information provided does not specify how their flavors differ.

How are the vintages distributed across this Michelot selection?

The 2020 vintage includes Les Narvaux, Genevrières and Perrières, while 2021 applies to Grès and Bourgogne Côte d’Or Clos de Montmeix. The 2003 vintage is represented by Les Narvaux: this cuvée therefore offers a point of comparison between two widely separated years, although no information is provided about how the wines have evolved.
