Domaine Michelot, Meursault Charmes 2023 White

Domaine Michelot’s Meursault Charmes 2023 is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay distinguished by its combination of richness, freshness and finely textured minerality. From one of Meursault’s most renowned vineyard sites, it expresses the elegance of the appellation while retaining a graceful, balanced profile. The Michelot family has cared for its domaine for six generations, building a reputation for thoughtful, terroir-focused wines.

Tasting Notes
Bright and inviting in the glass, this Meursault offers delicate aromas of citrus and subtle mineral tones. On the palate, it is rich and rounded without feeling heavy, with refreshing acidity and beautifully precise mineral nuances that bring length and finesse. The wine’s more developed Chardonnay character—including elegant nutty aromas—is expected to emerge after approximately 8–10 years of bottle age, suggesting very good cellaring potential.

Production
The grapes are manually harvested, with careful selection of the finest fruit in the vineyard. Domaine Michelot consciously limits the use of anti-fungal treatments and instead relies on a carefully planned programme of ploughing and vineyard work to maintain healthy soils, without following a formal organic certification system. After light crushing, the grapes undergo a 6–12-hour cold maceration on the skins, followed by alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels and 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine is matured in oak barriques, around 15% of which are new, for 10–12 months, followed by a further 5–6 months of ageing on the lees for added texture and balance.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for refined seafood dishes, this Meursault pairs particularly well with grilled or poached fish, shellfish and delicately sauced fish preparations. Its richness also makes it an excellent match for foie gras or goose liver. Serve lightly chilled at approximately 11–13°C. Decanting is not essential when young, but a short decant of 20–30 minutes can help open the wine; mature bottles are best handled gently and served soon after opening.

Producer
Domaine Michelot has remained in the Michelot family for six generations and today extends across more than 19 hectares in and around Meursault, including several prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. The domaine combines traditional Burgundy winemaking with a considered approach to vineyard management, prioritising healthy soils and careful manual selection. Its wines are valued for their finesse, mineral character and ability to balance Meursault’s natural generosity with freshness and precision.
