Domaine Francois Mikulski, established in 1992, is renowned for its focus on Meursault, benefiting from Mikulski's impressive background, including stints with Californian pioneers Ted Lemon and Josh Jensen, and at Burgundy's esteemed Domaine Roulot. The estate practices 'lutte raisonnee', a sustainable viticultural approach that blends organic principles with modern science, ensuring healthy soils and expressive wines. The 2010 vintage for white Burgundy is generally considered excellent, offering wines with both freshness and concentration. The 2010 Francois Mikulski Meursault is a wine of remarkable tension and detail, initially presenting as tightly wound with blistering acidity and a coiled slate-and-steel-like mineral core. As it unwinds, it reveals a searing, delicious belt of crisp apple-citrus fruit, complemented by a shale-like mineral tension. The finish is long, mouthwatering, fresh, and frisky, with a subtle waxy texture. Expect a nose of struck match and sulphur, evolving into grilled stone fruit, baked apple, and white pepper. The palate is bold and enveloping, featuring butterscotch, grapefruit, and citrus pith, culminating in a rich, spiced, and warm profile. A fine green-gold colour with a rich nose of white peach, butter, oats, and limestone further defines its character. 【Super fine, tightly wound, with blistering acidity and a coiled slate-and-steel-like mineral vein, demanding time to reveal its full potential.】 Serving Advice: As a 16-year-old white Burgundy, this wine benefits from careful handling. Stand the bottle upright for a day or two before serving to allow any potential sediment to settle. Serve slightly chilled, ideally between 12-14°C (54-57°F). While decanting is generally not recommended for older white Burgundies to preserve delicate aromatics, a brief aeration in the glass can help it open up beautifully. Food Pairing: This Meursault is versatile, capable of cutting through spicy dishes or serving as an elegant aperitif. Community recommendations include scallops, while chicken and turkey are also suggested. It would excel with roasted poultry, rich seafood like pan-seared turbot or lobster, or creamy pasta dishes. Event Suggestions: This is a fantastic wine for a sophisticated dinner party, a special anniversary, or any occasion calling for a mature and complex white Burgundy. It's a wine to be savored and discussed, perfect for those who appreciate the evolution of fine Chardonnay.
