    The Domaine Michelot vineyard is situated on well-exposed slopes, typical of the Meursault region. The clay-limestone soils, rich in minerals, encourage deep root development in the Chardonnay vines, allowing them to fully express the character of this iconic appellation. The temperate climate, with warm summers and cold winters, contributes to the optimal ripening of the grapes, essential for the quality of the wines. Each plot is carefully tended, respecting the principles of sustainable viticulture in order to preserve biodiversity and soil health.

    Owner and history

    Domaine Michelot is now run by the Michelot family, who continue a winemaking tradition spanning several generations. The owners are passionate about their terroir and committed to producing quality wines, highlighting the authenticity and character of each vintage. Their expertise and in-depth knowledge of the vines allow them to get the most out of each year, while respecting the environment. Their efforts have made the estate a leading name in the Meursault appellation.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for the 2020 Meursault Charmes Premier Cru begins with a manual harvest of the grapes, ensuring rigorous selection. After gentle pressing, the must is vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the aromas. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are new, imparting subtle woody notes while respecting the Chardonnay's character. This process lasts approximately 12 months, followed by bottle aging, which allows the wine to develop complexity before release.
