A fresh take on classic Meursault from one of the village’s trusted names. The ‘Affiné En Grès’ bottling is Michelot’s nod to purity and precision, with élevage in sandstone amphorae instead of traditional oak. The result is Chardonnay that shows Meursault’s rich fruit profile in a more vibrant, mineral-driven style.
Expect ripe orchard fruits like pear and golden apple, hints of citrus blossom and a fine, stony edge that gives the wine tension and drive. There is still the hallmark creaminess and depth you expect from Meursault, but the amphora aging brings extra clarity to the fruit and a gentle saline lift on the finish.
Perfect for those who love the generosity of Meursault but want a slightly fresher, more chiselled expression. Delicious on release, but has the balance to reward a few years in the cellar.

Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
