White dry
A Chardonnay from Côte d'Or, made from two parcels located on the border of the Meursault appellation. The wine shows the fruit character, texture and minerality associated with Meursault while remaining fresh and precise. The vineyards are farmed according to uncertified organic principles, while the style reflects François Mikulski’s aim to preserve the character of both the grape variety and the site.
The nose reveals notes of pear, apple and peach, complemented by grapefruit, yuzu and lemon, along with a subtle quince note. The fruit profile is pronounced, balanced by citrus freshness and a light mineral character.
On the palate, the wine is fruity, lively and well balanced, with pronounced acidity and a clean texture. Citrus fruits remain at the forefront, with flavours of grapefruit, orange and lime complemented by pear and white fruit. The finish is fresh, dry and mineral.
The wine is made from two parcels located on the border of the Meursault appellation. The vineyards are characterised by fine alluvial river deposits, which contribute fruitiness and texture to the wine. It is aged in oak barrels for around 10 months, then racked and kept in tanks for a further two months before bottling.
Serve at a temperature of 11–12 °C; pairs well with butter-fried smelt, pan-fried trout with lemon and butter sauce, and chicken with wild mushrooms.
François Mikulski, the son of a Polish émigré, manages his winery in Chassagne-Montrachet and has turned his unusual surname for the region into an advantage. His wines stand out not only in taste but also in appearance – the winemaker's name, surname, and vineyard are simply written in white paint, like chalk, on a plain, monochromatic bottle. Since the family winery is located in the Meursault area, he primarily specializes in producing brightly flavored white wines bearing the village's name.
Aiming to preserve the inherent characteristics of the growing site and grape variety, François Mikulski employs organic winemaking methods. His wines are expressive, boast exceptional balance, and are enjoyable both fresh and aged.
The family currently manages 9 hectares of vineyards, three-quarters of which are dedicated to white grape varieties. The remaining just over 2 hectares are planted with ‘Pinot Noir’ grapes. Among them are also less famous but distinctive vineyards in Chassagne, Meursault, and Pommard.
After a meticulous sorting of bunches during harvest, grapes are destemmed and gently pressed using a pneumatic press. Natural yeasts are used for fermentation.
Aging in barrels lasts 10–12 months. To ensure the oak doesn't overshadow the vineyard's inherent flavor, François uses no more than 20% new barrels.
