Domaine Michelot, Meursault Charmes 2023 White

Domaine Michelot’s Meursault Charmes 2023 is a refined white Burgundy from one of Meursault’s most celebrated Premier Cru vineyards. Made from Chardonnay, it combines generous richness with bright citrus and striking mineral finesse—a signature style that has been cultivated by the Michelot family for six generations.

Tasting Notes
Bright and elegant in the glass, this Meursault opens with inviting aromas of fresh citrus, subtle floral nuances and cool, mineral tones. On the palate, it is rich and rounded without feeling heavy, supported by refreshing acidity and a beautifully precise mineral character. The oak is discreetly integrated, adding texture rather than overpowering the wine. With bottle age, the Chardonnay’s more pronounced nutty and savoury aromas are expected to emerge after approximately 8–10 years, while the wine should develop gracefully over the longer term.

Production
The grapes are sourced from Meursault Charmes, a highly regarded Premier Cru site in Burgundy known for producing Chardonnay with both depth and finesse. Domaine Michelot takes a careful, considered approach in the vineyards, limiting anti-disease treatments and using a planned programme of soil cultivation to maintain healthy soils. The best grapes are selected and harvested by hand before being gently crushed. A 6–12-hour cold maceration is followed by alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels and 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine then matures in oak barriques, 15% of which are new, for 10–12 months, followed by a further 5–6 months of ageing on the lees to bring balance and harmony.

Food & Serving
This elegant Meursault is a natural match for fish dishes, shellfish and delicate seafood, as well as richer preparations such as foie gras. Serve lightly chilled at around 11–13°C. Decanting is not essential when the wine is young, but a brief 20–30-minute aeration can help reveal its citrus, mineral and subtle oak nuances. Older bottles are best opened carefully and served soon after uncorking.

Producer
Domaine Michelot has remained in the Michelot family for six generations and is now spread across more than 19 hectares, including several prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. The domaine is recognised for its precise, terroir-focused Meursaults, which balance the appellation’s natural richness with freshness and finesse. To preserve its independence as both grower and winemaker, Domaine Michelot does not belong to a formal organic viticulture organisation, instead following its own carefully managed vineyard practices.
