2007, 2009, 2011 Côte de Beaune White Burgundies Tasting Lot

Domaine Michel Caillot is a family estate in Meursault founded by Roger Caillot in 1961–1962. Roger assembled vineyard holdings across the Côte de Beaune, and his son Michel joined the domaine in the late 1980s before assuming responsibility for winemaking and élevage in the mid-1990s. Today the estate farms roughly 13 hectares, divided between white and red varieties, with key holdings in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Pommard, Volnay, Beaune, and Monthélie. Michel practices organic farming methods without certification, avoids herbicides, and keeps yields low through pruning and green harvesting. The domaine is known for its unusually long élevage. Wines ferment with native yeasts, move by gravity through a three-level cellar, and remain on their lees for extended aging before bottling. This approach has become a defining feature of the estate under Michel’s stewardship.
