Domaine Michelot, a family estate with six generations of winemaking expertise, presents their 2022 Bourgogne Côte d'Or Blanc. The current winemaker, Nicolas Mestre, has steered the estate towards producing finer, more mineral-driven wines, moving away from the previously richer style to better suit contemporary palates and lighter cuisine. This particular vintage is crafted from parcels located within the Meursault Village appellation, giving it a character remarkably close to a Meursault Village wine. 【Produced from parcels in the Meursault Village appellation, offering a character very close to Meursault Village wines.】
The 2022 vintage offers a wonderfully expressive nose of orchard fruits and minerals, leading to a rich palate that beautifully balances fruit richness with mineral freshness. Expect notes of oak, butter, vanilla, green apple, and citrus, alongside hints of cream and pineapple. Some describe it as having clean, clear fruit with light, fresh notes of peach and melon, presenting a light yellow to golden hue. It's celebrated for its powerful and fresh profile, making it the most gastronomic of Michelot's Burgundies.
Food pairing suggestions: This versatile white Burgundy pairs splendidly with a range of dishes, including shellfish, pasta, and rich fish like salmon or tuna. It also complements mild and soft cheeses, cured meats, and white fish served with a butter sauce.
Event suggestions: Perfect for an elegant aperitif, a sophisticated dinner party featuring seafood, or a relaxed evening enjoying pasta or a cheese board.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Lignier-Michelot is a wine producer based in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits subregion, where it produces a range of predominantly red, Pinot Noir-based wines from the Morey appellation itself and from neighboring villages. The domaine counts some highly regarded premier cru and grand cru vineyards among its holdings. The Lignier family has cultivated vines in Morey-Saint-Denis since the early 20th Century, but sold its grapes to négociants each vintage until 1992, when it began to bottle some of its own wines.
