Left Ballot Millot

Ballot-Millot et Fils is an outstanding domaine in Meursault with phenomenal holdings in the village's top crus, Charles Ballot is producing precise, tensile, racy yet exuberant wines. There is very little new oak used. These are modern white Burgundies, they are transparent and reflect their respective terroirs.

Charles has been in charge of the farming, winemaking, and cellar work since 2001. His grandparents started the domaine, and he inherited additional vines from his mother, who is related to the Lochardet-Dancer family. He farms according to lutte raisonnée — he works as organically as he can without sacrificing the crop. New oak is limited to 15% for village wines and up to 25% for the premier crus. The wines are bottled after about 16 months in barrel.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93
"A vaguely exotic and beautifully airy and elegant nose timidly offers up overtly floral aromas of essence of spiced pear and a whiff of ginger tea. There is very good mid-palate density to the impressively, indeed almost painfully, intense and mineral-driven flavors that possess a stunningly attractive mouthfeel, all wrapped in a balanced, long and tightly wound finale. This is terrific and worth your interest." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"The 2018 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru feels a little more muted than its peers, maybe just lacks the same degree of amplitude. The palate is balanced with good extraction. Slightly honeyed in style, with plenty of substance, it does not quite deliver the tension and mineralité of its peers. Perhaps one of the earlier drinking Genevrières. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting." -Neal Martin
