Produced by a family with six generations of experience, it expresses the elegance and mineral character for which Puligny-Montrachet is renowned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePale 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.\n\nEnjoy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Michelot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54462613389649,"sku":"VDZ-10570090185040-53331309658448","price":105.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/mich110_2.png?v=1785497999","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/domaine-michelot-puligny-montrachet-2024-white","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
