2017 Domaine Michel Caillot, Meursault "Le Limozin," Burgundy - 750ML

Domaine Michel Caillot is based in Meursault, one of the Côte de Beaune’s defining villages for richly textured, age-worthy white Burgundy. The 2017 “Le Limozin” captures the appellation’s classic balance of orchard-fruit generosity, measured oak influence, and mineral freshness, showing both maturity and precision at this stage of evolution.

Blend:
100% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes:
Aromas of ripe pear, lemon curd, golden apple, and white peach unfold alongside notes of hazelnut, acacia, wet limestone, light butter, and subtle toasted oak. The palate is full and polished without feeling heavy, carrying citrus oil, orchard fruit, almond cream, and a fine mineral thread through a long, quietly luxurious finish.

Structure:
Textured and refined; mature Meursault richness balanced by fresh acidity and limestone-driven tension.

Drink Window:
2024–2032

Decanting:
Serve lightly chilled and allow 20–30 minutes of air in a Burgundy glass or small decanter. The wine should benefit from gentle aeration, especially as its nutty, mineral, and lightly creamy Meursault character opens with time in the glass.

For collectors and Burgundy lovers, this is a compelling mature village Meursault with the depth and generosity expected from the appellation, while still retaining the freshness that makes 2017 so appealing at the table. It is especially well suited to lobster, scallops, roast poultry, creamy mushroom dishes, or as an elegant white Burgundy for a special dinner.
