Domaine Michelot, Meursault Charmes 2022 White

Domaine Michelot’s Meursault Charmes 2022 is a refined white Burgundy from one of Meursault’s most celebrated Premier Cru sites. Made from Chardonnay and shaped by careful vineyard work and subtle oak maturation, it combines generous texture with striking citrus freshness and fine mineral character. The Michelot family has tended vines in Meursault for six generations, bringing a strong sense of continuity to this distinguished cuvée.

Tasting Notes
Bright and elegant in the glass, this Meursault opens with inviting aromas of citrus, complemented by delicate mineral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rounded without feeling heavy, with a composed balance of ripe fruit, freshness and beautifully defined minerality. The oak is integrated rather than dominant, allowing the wine’s finesse and site character to take centre stage. With cellaring, the wine should develop greater complexity and depth. The characteristic nutty aromas associated with mature Chardonnay are expected to emerge after approximately 8–10 years, while the 2022 vintage can also be enjoyed in its youth for its freshness and poise.

Production
The grapes come from Meursault’s Charmes climat in Burgundy, known for producing richly textured yet mineral-driven Chardonnay. Domaine Michelot deliberately limits treatments against vine disease and favours a carefully planned ploughing programme to maintain healthy soils. The best grapes are selected by hand, lightly crushed and given a 6–12-hour cold skin maceration before alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels. The wine undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation, followed by 10–12 months of ageing in oak barriques, around 15% of which are new, and a further 5–6 months of maturation on the lees to achieve a harmonious balance.

Food & Serving
A natural match for fish dishes, shellfish and foie gras, this Meursault also works beautifully with roast poultry, creamy sauces and delicately seasoned white meats. Serve lightly chilled at around 11–13°C. Decanting is not essential when the wine is young, but a short decant of 20–30 minutes can help reveal its citrus, mineral and oak nuances; mature bottles are best poured carefully to preserve their delicacy.

Producer
Domaine Michelot has been in the Michelot family for six generations and today covers more than 19 hectares, including a number of prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. The domaine is recognised for expressing the finesse and mineral character of Meursault through attentive vineyard management and restrained winemaking. To preserve its independence as both grower and winemaker, Domaine Michelot does not follow an organised organic certification system, instead adopting its own considered approach to treatments and soil care.
