Domaine Michelot - Meursault Sous La Velle 2022

Keywords : Body / Roundness / Balance

The wine : From very old vines dating back to the 1930s, this cuvée wonderfully expresses the typical richness of Meursault whites. Delicious notes of brioche and butter are perfectly balanced here by fruitiness of ripe citrus and white fruits (peach, pear). The freshness is also present thanks to a very well-measured opulence, making this wine a model of balance that is both indulgent and flavorful. What a delight!

The estate : Family-owned for now 6 generations, the Michelot estate covers 19 hectares, almost all of which are in AOC Meursault. Today, Nicolas Mestre is at the head of this renowned house, which owns a significant terroir of prestigious premier crus. While all the wines are aged in oak barrels for about 1 year, few new barrels are used in order not to excessively mark the wines with wood and to preserve a beautiful balance with the fruit. The Mestre family offers us a range of great wines enjoying a very high level and great consistency in quality.
