The 2018 Domaine Michelot Meursault Les Grands Charrons is a village-level Chardonnay from one of Meursault's most respected lieux-dits. Produced by Domaine Michelot, a family estate with roots in Meursault dating back to the 19th century, the wine reflects the domaine's reputation for crafting precise, terroir-driven white Burgundies that balance richness with freshness and finesse.

Les Grands Charrons is one of the largest and most highly regarded village vineyards in Meursault, located just below several Premier Cru sites on the southern side of the appellation. Its clay-limestone soils and favourable exposure consistently produce wines with excellent concentration, structure and ageing potential. Many Burgundy enthusiasts consider Les Grands Charrons one of the closest village-level alternatives to Meursault Premier Cru quality.

The warm and generous 2018 vintage produced fruit of outstanding ripeness and concentration while retaining enough acidity to maintain balance. The wine opens with aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple and citrus zest, complemented by notes of white flowers, toasted hazelnut, fresh butter and subtle pastry nuances. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, with a layered texture supported by vibrant acidity. A core of orchard fruit is framed by the hallmark mineral character of Meursault, leading to a long, complex and persistent finish.

Les Grands Charrons has developed a reputation as one of the benchmark village vineyards of Meursault, frequently delivering a level of depth and complexity that rivals lesser Premier Crus. Domaine Michelot's restrained approach to oak and emphasis on vineyard expression allow the character of this renowned site to shine through, making it a particularly compelling expression of Meursault.
