Domaine Michelot, Meursault 2024 White

Domaine Michelot’s Meursault 2024 showcases the estate’s skill in blending fruit from different terroirs to create a rich yet finely balanced white Burgundy. The wine combines generous fruit, polished texture and classic Meursault finesse, reflecting six generations of family ownership and a domaine that now extends across more than 19 hectares, including several prestigious Premier Cru vineyards.

Tasting Notes
Bright and refined in appearance, this Meursault is expected to display a pale golden hue. The nose is marked by ripe orchard fruit and subtle creamy, buttery nuances, with gentle notes from its barrel maturation. On the palate, it offers a generous, fruit-driven style supported by freshness, supple texture and impressive finesse. Its balance gives it the potential to develop added complexity over the next few years, while remaining approachable in its youth.

Production
The wine is made from Chardonnay grown in and around Meursault, where the blending of different terroirs is central to the domaine’s style. Michelot limits disease treatments and uses a carefully planned ploughing programme to maintain healthy soils, while the grapes are hand-selected during harvest. After gentle crushing, the fruit undergoes a 6–12-hour cold maceration before alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels. The wine then completes 100% malolactic fermentation and matures in barriques for 10–12 months, with approximately 15% new oak, followed by a further 5–6 months of ageing on its lees.

Food & Serving
A versatile partner for fish and seafood, particularly dishes with butter- or cream-based sauces, this Meursault also pairs beautifully with poultry and other white meats. Serve lightly chilled at around 11–13°C to allow its texture and aromas to unfold. Decanting is not essential, but a short period of aeration in the glass—or 15–20 minutes in a carafe when served young—can help reveal its full finesse.

Producer
Domaine Michelot has remained in the Michelot family for six generations and is now one of the established domaines of Meursault. Its vineyards cover more than 19 hectares and include a number of prestigious Premier Cru sites. The estate places emphasis on preserving the health of its soils through considered vineyard work and maintains its independence as both grower and winemaker, choosing not to participate in a formal organic winegrowing organisation.
