2019 François Mikulski Meursault 1er Cru Poruzots

Francois Milkulski, Polish name, and his wife Marie - Pierre were free to create something completely new in 1992 when she started Domaine Mikulski. After gaining more than 7 years of experience with his uncle Pierre Boillot of Domaine Boillot in Gevrey-Chambertin, he was ready for a new challenge. The most striking is their label directly on the bottle. This stems from the following tradition. If the winemaker takes a bottle from the cellar for his own use, he writes the name on the bottle with a piece of chalk. Mikulski has now also implemented this as standard. Francois Mikulski and his wife are very committed to their vineyards and can be found there every day. They honor the traditional Burgundy style. They like purity, minerality, and elegance. This is clearly reflected in their wines. To achieve this, he also uses only 20% new oak barrels for the fermentation in barrels and the maturation of the wine. In addition, he uses no artificial yeast and filters the wine very lightly.

This Meursalt "Poruzots" from Francois Mikulski is made from 100% chardonnay grapes. The wine is aged in oak after harvest for a period of 12 months and then the wine is returned in parts to 228 liter barrels for 6 to 10 months. The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots is nicely defined on the nose and has a fine minerality. On the palate, the Poruzots has a lively, chalky entry with a fine lemony acidity. This is balanced, charming with a hint of sorbet. This wine will only get better in the coming years.
