DOMAINE FRANCOIS MIKULSKI MEURSAULT 1ER CRU 'LES CHARMES' 2023

DOMAINE FRANCOIS MIKULSKI MEURSAULT 1ER CRU 'LES CHARMES' 2023Franois Mikulski took over sharecropping rights to this 0. 66 hectare Les Charmes parcel in 1992, and the arrangement has held long enough that the 50 plus year old Chardonnay vines now read as his own. Sitting on the lower slope at Meursault's southern end, the heavy clay limestone soils over Jurassic limestone bedrock push toward the appellation's fullest, most textured style. Organically farmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in barrel

François Mikulski took over sharecropping rights to this 0.66-hectare Les Charmes parcel in 1992, and the arrangement has held long enough that the 50-plus-year-old Chardonnay vines now read as his own. Sitting on the lower slope at Meursault's southern end, the heavy clay-limestone soils over Jurassic limestone bedrock push toward the appellation's fullest, most textured style. Organically farmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in barrel with 17% new oak, it yields roughly 3,700 bottles annually. Mirabelle honey, mimosa, and bergamot on the nose; poached white fruits, grilled hazelnuts, and white chocolate lead to a long, spice-laced finish.
