Domaine François Mikulski

Wine Style

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.

• White wines (mostly from ‘Chardonnay’) feature minerality, a pleasant texture, an expressive, pure aroma, and a beautifully integrated oak character. He cultivates ‘Chardonnay’ grapes typical of the Meursault village, along with two small ‘Aligoté’ vineyards planted in 1929 and 1948.
• Red wines (from ‘Pinot Noir’) are aromatic, with polished tannins, juicy, and dominated by red berry characteristics.

Prestigious Vineyards

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.

Aging and Consumption Period

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.
