Made from Chardonnay in one of Meursault’s respected lieu-dits, it combines generous candied-citrus character with the freshness and structure expected from this celebrated Burgundy appellation. The Michelot family has farmed the domaine for six generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright and refined in appearance, this Meursault shows an expressive nose of orange peel, candied citrus and ripe orchard fruit, complemented by subtle creamy and gently toasted nuances from barrel ageing. On the palate, it is rich and beautifully rounded, with a supple texture balanced by lively mineral freshness. Notes of orange and other candied citrus fruits return on the finish, which is persistent and elegant.\n\nThe wine’s concentration, acidity and mineral structure give it excellent ageing potential. It can be enjoyed in its youth for its generous fruit and creamy texture, or cellared for several years to allow greater complexity and harmony to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit comes from Meursault Narvaux, a site known for producing wines with both richness and a distinctive mineral character. Domaine Michelot limits vineyard treatments where possible and relies on a carefully planned ploughing and cultivation programme to maintain healthy soils. The best grapes are selected manually at harvest, lightly crushed and given a 6–12-hour cold skin maceration. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, followed by 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged in barriques, approximately 15% of which are new, for 10–12 months, followed by a further 5–6 months of ageing on the lees to achieve balance and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA natural partner for white meats and poultry, this Meursault also pairs beautifully with foie gras and mature, creamy cheeses. It is especially well suited to Mont d’Or, whose richness is balanced by the wine’s mineral freshness. Serve lightly chilled at around 11–13°C. Decanting is not essential for a young vintage, but 20–30 minutes in a carafe can help open the wine; older bottles are best poured carefully to preserve their delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Michelot has remained in the hands of the Michelot family for six generations and today covers more than 19 hectares, including several prestigious Meursault Premier Cru vineyards. The domaine is recognised for combining traditional Burgundy winemaking with a thoughtful, independent approach to vineyard management. Rather than joining a formal organic certification system, the family follows its own carefully considered practices, including restrained disease treatments and regular soil cultivation. This focus on precision and site expression has made Domaine Michelot a respected name in Meursault.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Michelot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54462623744337,"sku":"VDZ-10570089464144-53331281510736","price":105.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/mich040.png?v=1785498035","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/domaine-michelot-meursault-narvaux-2024-white","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
