Meursault's multi-Premier Cru organic estate: four Premier Cru parcels expressing 19 hectares of village character
Established by Bernard Michelot in the mid-20th century and achieving widespread recognition in the 1960s, Domaine Michelot manages approximately 19 hectares primarily in Meursault with additional holdings in Puligny-Montrachet and Santenay. The estate holds multiple Premier Cru parcels in Meursault—Genevrières, Charmes, Poruzots, and Perrières. Since the 1990s, Véronique Michelot and husband Jean-François Mestre took over, and now their son Nicolas leads as winemaker. Since the early 2010s, the estate has followed organic practices, receiving Ecocert certification in 2020. Vinification employs native yeasts, extended lees aging, and uses a variety of vessels including Burgundy barrels, ceramic eggs, and glass vessels to best express each terroir.
