A domain mentioned since 1888 and which bears the name of Millot for four generations. The vineyard covers 7.5 ha in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Beaune. Émilien Millot has been working with his father at the family estate in Meursault since 2010. In the vineyard, he wants to enhance the life in the soil and does not hesitate to do his last summer treatments in the evening, in order to reduce the doses of products. He ages his wines with moderate use of new barrels. This young and talented winemaker produces lovely deep reds without artifacts, and a series of whites including a beautiful range of Meursault villages that emphasize the expression of unique places.
Tasting Notes
Straw-yellow in the glass. The nose is intense, complex and expressiv; expect notes of pear and peach and crunchy green apple. The palate is supple and elegant as one would expect from Meursault; there is an incredible balance of fruit and minerality that brings tension and interest. Well concentrated with remarkable length. This wine is certainly enjoyable now, but will reach its full potential with a few more years in the cellar. Enjoy with rich shellfish, dishes containing truffle, with soft creamy cheeses or serve it alongside a traditional turkey dinner to mark a special occasion.
Method
The grapes are hand-picked at optimum ripeness and are transported to the winery in small baskets where it undergoes traditional vinification. The grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press and the juice goes through a natural wild yeast fermentation. The cuvée is aged in casks for 12 months and rests another four months in stainless steel vats before bottling.
