Awards/Ratings
Various 2022 Michelot Meursault cuvées scored in the low 90s by critics (examples: Les Grands Charrons ~92; Les Narvaux listings ~94); generally well-reviewed for balance and aging potential

Tasting Note
Ripe orchard and citrus fruits with toasted hazelnut, honeyed butter and flinty minerality. Rich, creamy mid-palate with bright lemon-zest lift and a lingering, savory finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast chicken, lobster, foie gras, creamy pasta, aged Comté or Mont d’Or. Asian: miso-glazed salmon, tempura prawns, Cantonese steamed fish, creamy coconut curries.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Chardonnay; fermented in a mix of stainless steel and oak (small percentage new oak), aged on lees 10–12 months with occasional bâtonnage; minimal oak influence to preserve terroir.

Vineyard Info
