DOMAINE MICHELOT 'LA CARRIERE' 2022

Perched on Meursault's upper slopes near Les Narvaux just below Casse-tête, this distinctive 0.40-hectare plot showcases innovative winemaking beyond traditional boundaries. Though planted in 2019 on classic clay-limestone soils, this vineyard falls outside the 1936 AOC classification, allowing greater creative freedom while maintaining rigorous standards. The east-facing aspect ensures optimal morning sun exposure, promoting slow, even ripening of meticulously tended Chardonnay vines trained in traditional Guyot style. Fermented and aged exclusively in sandstone amphora rather than conventional oak, this cuvée preserves exceptional freshness and varietal purity. The resulting wine displays vibrant citrus notes with remarkable mineral precision, creating an engaging aperitif perfect for blind tastings among friends, with optimal drinking potential of 2-5 years.
