For those seeking the pinnacle of Meursault elegance, this is a true discovery. This Premier Cru offers a rare opportunity to experience the power of a truly iconic vineyard, masterfully expressed by one of Burgundy’s most respected winemakers.
This exceptional Meursault 1er Cru Charmes delights with an aroma defined by a refined, almost audacious freshness. Almond and almond milk nuances intertwine with perfectly judged notes of nuts and caramelized pear. Ripe white peach accents complete this captivating bouquet.
On the palate, the wine is rich, showcasing flavors of ripe fruit. The generous juice allows its silky, almost oily texture to shine. Hints of walnut, hazelnut, and sesame mingle seamlessly, while the lush pear flesh is subtly highlighted by a touch of coarsely ground black pepper, leading to a long and memorable finish.
Crafted from 100% Chardonnay vines averaging 50 years of age, this wine reflects the deep heritage of its vineyard. The vines are farmed using uncertified organic methods, allowing the unique terroir to fully express itself. The subsoil consists of a bedrock of rocky slabs, providing the ideal foundation for these outstanding Chardonnay grapes.
20% of the wine is aged in new oak barrels, while the remainder rests in barrels that have previously held wine.
Serves 11-13°C with chicken with cream sauce, Epoisse cheese or Caesar salad.
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.
