Domaine Michelot, Meursault Sous la Velle 2022 White

Domaine Michelot’s Meursault Sous la Velle 2022 captures the classic Meursault style: finely balanced, mineral and generous, with impressive length without feeling overly heavy. Made by a sixth-generation family domaine, it reflects the Michelot commitment to careful vineyard work and traditional Burgundy winemaking.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a bright golden appearance. On the nose, expect refined aromas of ripe orchard fruit, delicate citrus, subtle creamy notes and a distinctive mineral character. The palate is elegant and rounded, combining Meursault’s characteristic richness with freshness and finesse. A persistent finish brings excellent balance and lingering minerality. Although enjoyable in its youth, this Meursault has the structure and concentration to develop further complexity with bottle age. It should drink beautifully over the next several years when properly stored.

Production
The grapes are harvested by hand, with careful selection of the best fruit in the vineyards. Domaine Michelot deliberately limits disease treatments, favouring a carefully planned programme of ploughing and soil work to maintain healthy vineyard soils. The lightly crushed 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 barrels for 10–12 months, with approximately 15% new oak, before spending a further 5–6 months ageing on its lees to achieve balance and texture.

Food & Serving
A versatile choice as an aperitif, this Meursault pairs particularly well with light starters, seafood, grilled fish, poultry in a creamy sauce and a selection of mild, mature cheeses. Serve lightly chilled at around 11–13°C. Decanting is not essential for a young vintage, but 20–30 minutes of gentle aeration in a decanter can help reveal its aromas and texture.

Producer
Domaine Michelot has remained in the Michelot family for six generations and now farms more than 19 hectares, including several prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. The domaine is respected for combining traditional Burgundy methods with a thoughtful approach to vineyard management. Rather than joining a formal organic certification system, the family maintains its independence and focuses on carefully planned, environmentally mindful work in the vineyards.
