Producer notes from François Mikulski:

"This wine is a product of the Limozin plot which, for some vintages, is vinified separately and for others is produced in the Meursault vintage. The total acreage is 0.15 hectares. The average age of the vine is 65 years old. The vine is cultivated by non-certified organic farming. The subsoil is made up of fine alluvial river sediment. It is therefore less rich in limestone, making it heavier and more draining."

Notes from Raphael GIMENEZ-FAUVETY – Retailer; “De Corps et d’Esprit” in Paris:

"Very refined nose, showing abundant freshness and a lot of air – cold air, reminiscent of winter or very early spring. An orchard as it starts to bloom, with peach and apricot trees – but also lemon trees; it really takes a lot of aeration to begin releasing the typical Meursault aromas of pear – poached and/or candied – nuts and dried fruit, and honey; patience is required, but gradually they follow along one after the other: almond, hazelnut, blond Corinthian raisin, honey, marzipan, dragées, nutmeg, puff pastry, pear tart and apple tart, a hint of cinnamon and another of turmeric; to uncover all this, the wine needs at least half an hour in a decanter; otherwise, you’ll miss out for sure....
On the palate, the wine shows volume, elasticity and opulence of fruit; this year, the Limozin leans more towards the Charmes than the Genevrières: full-bodied with a touch of fat, pear penetrated by mandarin, Sichuan pepper and saffron; marmalade generously spiced and marked with ras-el-hanout; apricot jelly or jam mixed with orange and a hint of strong curry; blood orange with Espelette pepper.
Impressive finish – peppery, but also reminiscent of gunpowder; a considerable energy is released all at once."
