Producer

Vigneron and bon viveur Alain Michelot has tended his vines with immaculate and loving care since inheriting the estate in 1966 at a young age after the untimely passing of his father. The Domaine, which dates back to around 1880, owns approximately 20 acres of vineyards and the majority are on the slopes overlooking his home town of Nuits St Georges.The beautiful winery is located in the centre and today with help from his talented daughter Elodie they have quietly re-invested in new tanks and winemaking equipment reinforcing their long standing commitment to quality. Highly rated by Remington Norman in his book The Great Domaines of Burgundy.
Tasting Notes
The Domaine Alain Michelot Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes is made from 50 year old vines. This gives power, concentration and richness to the wine. The palate is aromatic and with wonderful texture with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant and smoke leading on to a long, elegant and flavoursome finish.
Food
Will pair perfectly with roasted meats, coq au vin, veal escalope and wild mushroom risotto.
