We have been visiting Michelot in Meursault to taste the new vintage from barrel since the late 1990s, so the domaine is close to our hearts and we love to see how the wines evolve each year, especially when they are as excellent as their 2023s.

Each year, Nicolas Mestre experiments further with fermenting and ageing in ceramic eggs and glass demijohns, with ever-increasing expression of terroir, and the 2023 vintage wines reach new heights in this.  The domaine is blessed with vineyard holdings across the appellation, on a wide variety of soils and Nicolas has managed to capture their distinct characters beautifully.

The Bourgogne Côte d'Or Blanc is a brilliant 'baby Meursault' and you should stock up on as much as your cellar will hold, for we sell out each vintage and it's likely there will be very little available next year.  2023 Santenay 'Les Gravières' 1er Cru competes with many Meursaults from lesser producers and is unmistakably a premier cru in terms of intensity and length on the palate. 

As for Michelot's Meursaults, the Village wine has the intense crystallised fruit character that the domaine excels at, whilst the single-vineyard Clos St Felix and Grands Charrons also have additional flinty minerality and energy.  Of the premiers crus, Les Charmes is distinguished by its elegance and delicacy, whilst Genevrières has great intensity and length on the palate. 

Following a plentiful harvest, several wines have seen very welcome price reductions this year.  These wines repay some time in the cellar, so if you love the unique character of aged white burgundy, we suggest laying down the lieux-dits and premiers crus for five to seven years for optimal enjoyment. 

Please let us know as soon as possible if you would like to order.
