this cuvée is made from a blend of plots located on very different soils spread across mid-slope, lower slope, and hillside. The interest lies in the blend of these different terroirs, which produces a fruity and opulent wine, but always with a beautiful finesse on the palate.It was during the vinification of the 2017 Meursault that we decided to age a separate cuvée of this wine. Since then, just before filtering the Meursault cuvée, we fill stoneware eggs (ovoid-shaped ceramic jars) with our Meursault Village and let it rest in the cellar for 1 year. It is then bottled during an optimal moon so as not to disturb the wine or lose its aromas.

Domaine Michelot has been owned and operated by the Michelot family for six generations and now comprises more than 19 hectares, including a number of notable Premier Crus in Meursault. The domaine is primarily recognised for the quality of their Chardonnays, which see a 6 - 12 hour cold pre-soak before fermentation, including malolactic. The finished wines are aged for 10 - 12 months in oak barrels, with around 15% being new oak, before they are blended in tank and rested for a further 5 - 6 months. The village level wines are excellent, with an approachable ripeness, but it's the Premier Cru wines that truly show off the quality of the winemaking. The team producer four wines from argaubly Meursault's greatest hillside vineyards - Poruzot, Charmes, Genevrières and Perrières.
