An expertly crafted wine from the Burgundy region, the Michelot Meursault-Charmes 1er Cru 2019 exhibits the quintessence of French winemaking. Born from the hands of the Michelot family, who have been meticulously cultivating vineyards for six generations in Meursault, it offers a sophisticated expression of Chardonnay. Fermentation occurs in oak barrels, followed by an 18-month cellaring period, to produce a wine that marries the austerity of mineral Chardonnay with the richness of Burgundian terroir. The wine has an elegant golden hue and bewitches with its broad aromatic palette, from tinges of fresh, ripe fruit to exotic spices. The full-bodied yet balanced palette captivates with its depth, complexity, and lasting finish. 2019 was a vintage marked by good ripeness, and the Michelot Meursault-Charmes 1er Cru 2019 reflects this beautifully. It's a testament to the exceptional care taken in its crafting, distilling the character of its unique provenance into every bottle. |

Burgundy | 1 | 91-93 (VN) | HK$8,170.00 | |||||
Vinous (91-93)(from vines picked near the beginning of the harvest; just about finished with its malolactic fermentation): Pale yellow color. Aromas of peach, white pepper and menthol. Nicely concentrated flavors of pineapple, stone fruits, clove and saline minerality juxtapose a subtle savory character with a sexy touch of sweetness. A step up in texture and length from Michelot's Meursault Charmes, which was quite silky, ripe and high-toned at the time of my visit but had barely started its malolactic fermentation. A tad phenolic on the back end. |
