Producer notes from Francois Mikulski:
"We cultivate our vines in a plot that we have leased near Volnay Santenots and Meursault Caillerets. The 2019 vintage is the product of our first harvest.
The vineyard covers approximately 0.3 hectares and the vines are about 40 years old.
The grape variety is 100% Chardonnay. The vines are cultivated using non-certified organic methods. Our application to label the wine ‘Clos’ is in progress.
The subsoil is composed of calcareous gravel on fissured rock strata.
Brilliant pale gold robe. A sensual gourmet nose. The soil contributes notes of bergamot, ground cloves, nutmeg and musk. This wine pairs well with cooked shellfish, but you could also try it with Cantonese-style glazed pork, or even – without aiming for provocation – an American-style fried chicken with slightly spicy mayonnaise.
Ideally, Meursault is a wine that should be drank aged between 5 to 10 years. When mature, its palate and nose are explosive; an array of aromas burst through: honey, exotic fruits, butter, hazelnut, grilled almond, yellow fruits.
This vintage is well-bodied and silky, with a hint of minerality."
