Domaine Michelot, Meursault Charmes 2024 White

Domaine Michelot’s Meursault Charmes 2024 is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay from one of Meursault’s most celebrated Premier Cru sites. It combines generous texture with striking citrus freshness and mineral finesse, offering an elegant expression of the appellation rather than an overly rich or heavy style. The Michelot family has owned and cultivated its domaine for six generations.

Tasting Notes
Bright and expressive in the glass, this Meursault Charmes opens with pleasant aromas of citrus, complemented by delicate mineral nuances. On the palate, it is rich and rounded while retaining impressive lift and precision, with a beautifully balanced finish marked by fine mineral notes. The characteristic nutty aromas associated with mature Chardonnay are expected to emerge more fully after approximately 8–10 years of bottle age, while the wine can be enjoyed earlier for its freshness and finesse.

Production
The grapes come from the Meursault Charmes Premier Cru vineyard in Burgundy, a site known for producing Chardonnay with both richness and mineral definition. Domaine Michelot limits anti-disease treatments and uses a carefully planned ploughing programme to support healthy soils, without participating in a formal organic certification scheme. The best grapes are selected and harvested by hand, lightly crushed, then given a 6–12-hour cold maceration on the skins. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, followed by 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine matures in barrels—15% new oak—for 10–12 months, followed by a further 5–6 months of ageing on the lees to achieve balance and texture.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for delicate fish dishes, shellfish and foie gras, this Meursault also suits preparations with gentle cream or butter-based sauces. 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 aromatic depth; 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, including several prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. The domaine is respected for its careful, independent approach to vineyard management and winemaking, prioritising healthy soils, manual selection and patient maturation. Its wines express the character of Meursault through a combination of richness, precision and mineral finesse.
