2023 Domaine Michel Juillot Bourgogne Blanc

Fresh citrus and orchard fruit lead, with notes of lemon zest, green apple, and pear, followed by hints of white flowers and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is clean and well-proportioned, showing lively acidity and a lightly textured mid-palate. Fruit flavors mirror the nose, supported by subtle mineral tension rather than overt richness. Oak influence is notable in the shape and texture the wine takes, without overpowering its fruit and citrus flavors.

Domaine Michel Juillot is a family estate now run by Laurent Juillot, farming roughly 30 hectares across Mercurey, Rully, and several Premier Cru sites. The domaine works with sustainable viticulture and hand harvesting, focusing on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay planted on limestone and clay soils typical of the area. Fermentations use native yeasts, and élevage is carried out in a measured proportion of oak to maintain structure without excessive influence.
