Domaine Ballot Millot et Fils Meursault 'Les Criots' 2020
Vintage Character
Domaine Ballot-Millot et Fils Meursault “Les Criots” 2020 comes from the limestone-rich lieu-dit Les Criots within the village of Meursault, where shallow, stony soils help shape a Chardonnay that marries classic Meursault generosity with a vivid, mineral backbone. The 2020 vintage in the Côte de Beaune was warm and relatively dry, an early, high-quality year that produced ripe, concentrated fruit yet, in top sites and careful hands, retained sufficient freshness and tension in the wines.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, this Meursault shows ripe lemon, pear and white peach alongside green apple, white flowers and a hint of almond, layered with creamy lees notes, subtle vanilla, sweet spice and light toast from barrel ageing. Medium-full in body with medium-high acidity, it glides across the palate with a fine, chalky texture, building into a long, precise finish of hazelnut, honeyed stone fruit and a saline twist. It is an excellent partner for roast chicken with morels, seared scallops with beurre blanc, or a simple plate of Comté or aged Gruyère, highlighting both its richness and its refined, mineral edge.
Winery Background
Rooted in Meursault, Domaine Ballot-Millot et Fils brings together two long-established Burgundian families and farms prime parcels across Meursault and neighbouring appellations, with holdings that include several notable lieux-dits and premiers crus. Today the domaine is led by Charles Ballot, who has gradually refined the style towards greater precision and terroir transparency while remaining faithful to traditional Côte de Beaune craftsmanship. Vineyard work is meticulous, with thoughtful canopy management and moderate yields to preserve concentration and balance; in the cellar, he favours gentle pressing, indigenous fermentations and élevage in oak with restrained use of new barrels, aiming to frame rather than mask each site’s character. The decision to bottle “Les Criots” separately underlines the estate’s commitment to expressing individual lieux-dits, showcasing how its rocky, limestone-dominated soils can deliver a Meursault of tension, layered texture and clear site identity.
