Domaine Michelot, Bourgogne Côte d'Or 2022 White

Domaine Michelot’s 2022 Bourgogne Côte d’Or Blanc offers the richness and polished character often associated with Meursault Villages, while retaining the freshness expected from a well-crafted Burgundy white. Produced by a family domaine now in its sixth generation, it combines careful vineyard work with extended élevage in oak and on the lees.

Tasting Notes
Bright and inviting in the glass, this wine opens with a rich, creamy impression. The nose suggests ripe orchard fruit, subtle citrus and delicate oak, while the palate is rounded and textured, with balanced freshness and a long, refreshing finish. Its style makes it approachable in its youth, though the structure and careful maturation should allow it to develop added complexity over the next few years when well stored.

Production
The grapes are hand-harvested from carefully tended vineyards, with the domaine limiting treatments against disease and using a considered ploughing programme to maintain healthy soils. After a gentle crushing, the grapes undergo a 6–12-hour cold skin maceration before alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels. The wine then completes 100% malolactic fermentation and matures for 10–12 months in barriques, including approximately 15% new oak, followed by a further 5–6 months of ageing on the lees to achieve balance and texture. Domaine Michelot follows its own approach to vineyard management rather than participating in a formal organic certification scheme.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for delicate starters, this Bourgogne Côte d’Or Blanc also pairs beautifully with seafood, shellfish, grilled fish and lightly sauced poultry. Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Decanting is not essential for a young bottle, but a brief 20–30 minutes in a carafe can help reveal its creamy texture and subtle oak character.

Producer
Domaine Michelot has been in the Michelot family for six generations and has grown to more than 19 hectares, including several prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. Based in Burgundy, the domaine is recognised for its hands-on approach, from selective hand-harvesting to careful soil management and patient barrel ageing. Its focus on maintaining independence as both grower and winemaker is reflected in wines that combine traditional Burgundy character with a precise, individual style.
