Domaine Ballot Millot Meursault Rouge 2012
Vintage Character
Domaine Ballot‑Millot Meursault Rouge 2012 is a rare red from a village celebrated primarily for its whites, crafted from Pinot Noir grown on clay‑limestone soils. The 2012 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a cool, uneven growing season with hail and disease pressure, but a fine September harvest rewarded careful producers with reds of freshness, aromatic clarity, and moderate structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, this Meursault Rouge reveals aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, accented by subtle earthy and spicy undertones. The palate is medium‑bodied and elegant, with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a mineral‑driven finish. Its balance of fruit and finesse makes it a versatile partner for dishes such as roast duck, mushroom risotto, or a creamy Brie de Meaux.
Winery Background
Domaine Ballot‑Millot, based in Meursault, traces its roots back to 1630, with the estate formally established in the 18th century. Today, it is run by Charles Ballot, the 15th generation of the family, who took over in 2001 after gaining experience in New Zealand and California. The domaine farms around 10 hectares, with about 8 hectares dedicated to Chardonnay and 2 hectares to Pinot Noir, including parcels in Meursault, Volnay, Pommard, and Beaune. Vineyard work emphasizes sustainable, low‑yield farming, with plowing instead of herbicides and careful canopy management. In the cellar, fermentations use indigenous yeasts, and élevage takes place in French oak barrels with a restrained proportion of new wood to preserve balance and terroir expression. While Ballot‑Millot is best known for its crystalline, mineral‑driven whites from premier crus such as Perrières, Genevrières, and Charmes, its small production of reds—including this Meursault Rouge.
