Mestre Michelot
Mestre Michelot produces Chardonnay from Meursault, the white wine heart of Burgundy's Côte de Beaune. The winery's portfolio centers on the village appellation and its premier cru sites, with Meursault-Genevrières Premier Cru standing as the flagship expression. This wine, rated 89.0 by Wine Spectator, exemplifies the mineral precision and buttery complexity that define the finest white Burgundies. The village-level Meursault follows at 87.6, while Meursault 'Sous La Velle' rounds out the range at 84.0. Each reflects the limestone-rich terroir that gives Meursault its characteristic balance of richness and acidity. Mestre Michelot's focus on a single varietal and appellation demonstrates the classical Burgundian approach: letting site and vintage speak through restrained winemaking.
