Meursault Blanc "Sous La Velle" 2022 | Wine from Domaine Michelot

The Domaine Michelot, established for six generations in Meursault, is a must-know reference of the Côte de Beaune. With its 19 hectares mostly located in the Meursault AOC, this family property led by Nicolas Mestre produces wines of remarkable and consistent quality. The aging of wines in oak barrels, skillfully done to preserve the expression of fruit and terroir, ensures cuvées of incomparable finesse and balance.

The Meursault Blanc "Sous La Velle" 2022 is an exceptional cuvée, made from old vines planted in the 1930s. This wine illustrates all the richness and typicality of Meursault whites, with gourmet aromas of brioche, butter, and ripe fruits such as peach and pear. The structure is ample and generous, yet always supported by a subtle freshness that provides perfect balance.

The pale gold color with bright highlights captivates at first glance.
On the nose, the intense aromas of buttered brioche intertwine with notes of peach and citrus zest.
On the palate, the attack is round, revealing a creamy texture and a delicate fat. The well-integrated acidity brings a freshness that balances the richness of the wine, leaving a persistent and savory finish.

This Meursault pairs beautifully with noble shellfish like lobster or langoustine. It also perfectly accompanies fish in sauce, such as salmon with sorrel or turbot with beurre blanc. Roasted poultry or those prepared with cream, as well as aged cheeses like Comté or Brie de Meaux, will enhance its complex aromas and balance on the palate.
