Alain Michelot Bourgogne Rouge 2023
Vintage Character
Alain Michelot Bourgogne Rouge 2023 comes from the Bourgogne Rouge regional appellation in Bourgogne. Unsettled spring temperatures delayed budbreak enough to avoid the rare spring frosts. Summer thunderstorms relieved a persistent water deficit, and hot sunshine then concentrated sugar, flavour and colour. Heat above 35°C at the start of harvest led some growers to pick at night or before sunrise. The contrast between timely rain and late heat is central to this vintage's fruit and balance. For Pinot Noir from Bourgogne Rouge, the season puts acidity and tannin texture in dialogue with red-fruit ripeness. In the Bourgogne Rouge appellation bottling, expect supple fruit and easy movement.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Fresh cherry gives way to raspberry and violet, with a discreet earthy-spice accent in the background. On the palate it is dry and medium in body, with fine, medium tannin and medium-high acidity giving the Bourgogne fruit a fresh frame. The finish is fresh and easy, with forest floor and dried flowers adding depth as the wine ages. Try it with roast chicken and herb mushrooms, or glazed duck with mild spices; the fine tannin and medium-high acidity suit these dishes without overpowering them.
Winery Background
Domaine Alain Michelot has been developed by four generations since 1880 and farms about 8 hectares in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-Saint-Denis and Clos de Vougeot. Quality and authenticity are the domaine's stated aims. Élodie Michelot, Alain's daughter, now runs winemaking, and the wines are raised in French oak barrels for roughly 15 to 18 months depending on the cuvée. Here, the Bourgogne Rouge bottling shows that family approach at the regional level.
