We tasted this wine last week, and it's a serious village that is of premier cru quality. The vines here are 60 to 80 years of age with one parcel from the northern part of the village another from the southern part. Michelot's cellar is very cold, and sometimes malolactic fermentation can last into the next harvest. This wine only sees about ten percent of new oak, and it's a serious bottle. The color is purple with a melange of black and blue fruits, incredible depth, and a palate staing finish.  This wine can be approached now, but it will be better in a few years and easily last a decade or more. For the money, it's an absolute steal and its priced below many Bourgogne Rouges.

John Gilman 91 pts! The 2020 Nuits old vine bottling has turned out superbly well and I would suspect that this was picked a few days ahead of the Morey AC, as there are no signs of sur maturité here on the nose. The bouquet delivers a deep, sappy and quite classic aromatic profile of black cherries, sweet dark berries, bitter chocolate, pigeon, dark soil tones, woodsmoke and a nice touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine full-bodied, pure and nicely soil-driven, with a beautiful core of sappy fruit, bright acids, ripe, buried tannins and lovely balance on the long and complex finish. This will need time to blossom, but it will be quite classical in style when it reaches full maturity. Fine juice.
