Domaine Michelot, Meursault Grès Blanc 2021

Domaine Michelot’s Meursault Grès Blanc 2021 is an elegant white Burgundy that combines the richness associated with Meursault with a refined, beautifully balanced style. Produced by a family domaine with more than six generations of history, it stands out for its carefully tended vineyards, restrained use of treatments and patient élevage in oak and on the lees.

Tasting Notes
Bright golden in appearance, this Meursault offers an inviting nose of ripe pear, white peach and citrus, complemented by delicate floral notes and subtle hints of toasted almond from its barrel maturation. On the palate, it is generous and rounded, with a fine mineral freshness, well-integrated oak and a long, harmonious finish. The 2021 vintage’s balance between fruit, freshness and texture makes the wine enjoyable now, while allowing it to develop greater depth and complexity in bottle. It should reward cellaring for approximately five to eight years, depending on storage conditions.

Production
The grapes are sourced from Meursault’s limestone- and clay-influenced soils, which contribute both texture and mineral character. Michelot limits vineyard treatments wherever possible and follows a carefully planned ploughing and soil-management programme to maintain healthy ground. The grapes are manually selected and lightly crushed before a 6–12-hour cold maceration on the skins. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, followed by 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for 10–12 months in barriques, around 15% of which are new, before spending a further five to six months maturing on its fine lees.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for classic Burgundy dishes, this Meursault pairs beautifully with roast chicken, creamy poultry dishes, grilled or poached fish, scallops, lobster and seafood risotto. Its texture also works well with soft, moderately mature cheeses such as Brillat-Savarin or Comté. Serve lightly chilled at around 11–13°C. Decanting is not essential, but a short decant or 15–20 minutes of aeration can help reveal the wine’s full aromatic complexity, particularly when enjoyed young.

Producer
Domaine Michelot has been in the Michelot family for more than six generations and is now spread across over 19 hectares, including several prestigious Meursault Premier Cru vineyards. The domaine is respected for combining traditional Burgundy craftsmanship with a thoughtful, independent approach to viticulture and winemaking. Rather than joining a formal organic certification scheme, the family focuses on practical, carefully considered vineyard work, including limited disease treatments, soil cultivation and rigorous manual selection at harvest.
