Information
Domaine Michelot extends over 8 hectares between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Morey-Saint-Denis and half of its wines are premier crus. The property goes back to the 19th century, since around 1880. Four generations of winemakers have succeeded one another ever since. Alain Michelot is still present on the domaine, but it is really his daughter Elodie and her husband who are now responsible for wine production. Under their leadership, the wines have gained in elegance and the domaine has been operating a parcel of Clos Vougeot since 2010
La Richemone, like the other premier crus, is élevaged in oak barrels (25% new) for 18 months. It has very distinctive flavours of dark fruit and an ideal ripe quality on the palate. The firm tannins soften after aging for a few years, making for a truly excellent Nuits-Saint-Georges.
