Domaine Michelot, Puligny Montrachet 2024 White

Domaine Michelot’s Puligny-Montrachet 2024 is a refined white Burgundy that combines bright citrus freshness with the subtle toast and texture of carefully managed oak. Produced by a family with six generations of experience, it expresses the elegance and mineral character for which Puligny-Montrachet is renowned.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in appearance, this Chardonnay opens with delicate white flowers, fresh citrus and a lightly toasted note. On the palate, it is taut and mineral-driven, with flavours of lime and crisp apple supported by discreet oak. The finish is long, fresh and finely balanced, with a clean, persistent energy typical of Puligny-Montrachet. Enjoy it for its youthful precision, or allow it to develop greater roundness and complexity in bottle over the next five to eight years, depending on storage conditions.

Production
The grapes are manually harvested, with careful selection of the best fruit in the vineyard. The bunches are lightly crushed before a 6–12-hour cold skin maceration. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, followed by 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine is then matured in oak barriques, 15% of which are new, for 10–12 months, followed by a further 5–6 months on the lees to build balance and texture. Domaine Michelot deliberately limits treatments against vine diseases and instead follows a carefully planned soil-management programme to maintain healthy vineyard soils. The domaine is not part of a formal organic winegrowing scheme, preserving its independence in vineyard and cellar decisions.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for baked cod, scallops and poultry in a creamy sauce, this Puligny-Montrachet also works beautifully with refined vegetarian dishes featuring mushrooms or delicate herb sauces. Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Decanting is not essential for the 2024 vintage, but a brief 15–20-minute decant can help reveal its floral aromas and subtle oak complexity when served young.

Producer
Domaine Michelot has been in the Michelot family for six generations and now extends across more than 19 hectares, including a selection of prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. Based in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, the domaine has built a reputation for elegant, terroir-focused whites that balance precision with understated richness. Its thoughtful approach to soil care, manual harvesting and restrained use of new oak reflects a commitment to expressing the character of each vineyard while maintaining the family’s independence as both grower and winemaker.
