The 2022 Domaine Michelot Bourgogne Côte d'Or is a Chardonnay from Burgundy produced by Domaine Michelot, one of the most respected family-owned estates in Meursault. With a history dating back to the 19th century, the domaine has earned a reputation for crafting wines that combine purity, balance and a strong expression of terroir, with an increasing focus on sustainable and organic vineyard practices.

The Bourgogne Côte d'Or appellation was created to distinguish regional wines sourced specifically from the heart of the Côte d'Or, Burgundy's most prestigious wine-growing area. Drawing fruit from vineyards situated around the Côte de Beaune, this wine benefits from the limestone-rich soils and cool continental climate that have made Burgundy the global benchmark for Chardonnay.

The 2022 vintage was characterised by warm, sunny conditions that delivered excellent fruit ripeness while retaining sufficient acidity for freshness and balance. The wine opens with aromas of lemon zest, ripe pear and white peach, complemented by notes of white flowers, toasted almonds and subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with a core of citrus and orchard fruit supported by vibrant acidity. A gentle mineral character carries through to the clean, persistent finish.

Within the market, the 2022 Domaine Michelot Bourgogne Côte d'Or represents an increasingly sought-after category of Burgundy. Bourgogne Côte d'Or wines often offer greater site specificity and quality than traditional regional Burgundy, while remaining more accessible than village-level appellations such as Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet. For Burgundy enthusiasts, it provides an opportunity to experience the style of a highly regarded producer at an approachable level
