Domaine Michelot, Puligny Montrachet 2023 White

Domaine Michelot’s Puligny-Montrachet 2023 is a refined white Burgundy that combines precise citrus freshness with the subtle richness of French oak. Produced by a family estate with six generations of history, it expresses the elegant, mineral character for which Puligny-Montrachet is renowned, while retaining impressive balance and length.

Tasting Notes
Bright and pale in appearance, the wine opens with delicate white-flower aromas layered with citrus and lightly toasted nuances. On the palate, it is taut and mineral, offering flavours of lime, crisp apple and carefully integrated oak. A fresh, persistent finish brings excellent definition and energy. The 2023 vintage is approachable in its youth, particularly with a short period of aeration, but its structure, mineral core and balanced oak influence should allow it to develop further in bottle over the next several years.

Production
The grapes are hand-harvested from carefully tended vines in Puligny-Montrachet. Domaine Michelot deliberately limits disease treatments and follows a thoughtfully planned ploughing programme to maintain healthy soils, while choosing to preserve its independence outside a formal organic certification system. After gentle pressing, alcoholic fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, some of them new. The wine then matures for approximately 10–12 months on fine lees, with limited bâtonnage to build texture without compromising freshness. Oak is used with precision to preserve the wine’s mineral character, and it is lightly fined and filtered before bottling.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Its lively acidity and mineral character make it an excellent match for baked cod, scallops and poultry in a creamy sauce. It also pairs beautifully with refined vegetarian dishes featuring mushrooms or delicate herb-based sauces. Decanting is not essential for this youthful white Burgundy, although 20–30 minutes in a carafe can help open the aromas before serving.

Producer
Domaine Michelot has remained in the Michelot family for six generations and today covers more than 19 hectares, including a selection of prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. Based in Burgundy, the estate combines traditional family ownership with a considered, low-intervention approach to vineyard work and precise cellar practices. Its focus on careful farming, hand selection and restrained oak makes it a respected source of expressive, terroir-driven wines from the Côte de Beaune.
