Vinos a la venta: Michel Juillot

Established for several generations in Mercurey, Domaine Michel Juillot now radiates across the whole of the Côte Chalonnaise. In pure, Burgundian style, Laurent Juillot avoids all intervention; working only with indigenous yeasts, he crafts single-parcel cuvées that express each of his terroirs wonderfully.

Michel Juillot took over the domaine in 1963 and multiplied its operating area six fold in 20 years. Thanks to numerous experiences of trial and error, he eventually found his way and his recipe for quality. His son Laurent, after having travelled around the New World, returned in the 1990s and began to move the vineyard towards responsible and sustainable farming. In recent years, the installation of two meteorological stations has provided the Juillots with constant monitoring, making it possible to minimise the vagaries of the climate and spray less. This family success has greatly increased the prestige of the Mercurey appellation and he now exports to 26 countries.
