From ten parcels around the village. The Mestre's aim with this wine is to blend the various components to make a wine that is as representative of the village as possible. Few domaines have such an array of terroirs at their disposal, so this wine is one of the best exemplars of the village. 80% barrel fermented and aged, half in barrique and half in 500l casks. The remaining 20% is made in ceramic 'eggs' and glass globes. Nicolas is continually experimenting with these vessels to give texture to the wines, whilst allowing them to express their terrroir. Intense flint and struck match aromas, some saline notes on the palate, balancing a soft, rounded texture. Lovely savoury hazelnut character. RKL"Pale colour with a touch of sulphur on the nose, certainly more tension. Starts well and then builds, with predominantly fresh apple notes, the fruit covering the wood and becoming more complex than expected further back on the palate. Drink from 2026-2031. 89-92 points." Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
About Domaine Michelot
A visit to Michelot is always a highlight of our visits to Burgundy. The Mestre family are such good-humoured, gregarious characters, as well as highly-skilled winemakers. The domaine became one of the best known in Meursault under the charismatic Bernard Mestre. Today the 23-hectare domaine is run by Bernard's grandson, Nicolas Mestre, and his father Jean-Francois.
