2022 Francois Mikulski Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Beaune Chardonnay

François Mikulski has quietly earned a place among Meursault’s most respected producers, known for wines that prioritise purity, energy, and mineral precision. His focus is on clarity and freshness across the board — whether it’s Aligoté or Premier Cru — with élevage and viticulture carefully tuned to preserve site and structure. Stylistically, the wines lean toward the racy, tensile end of the Meursault spectrum, in the vein of Roulot or Carillon. They’re built to age, but always with a drink-now brightness that keeps you coming back for another glass.

Other Reviews....
Super-fresh and relatively elegant aromas include those of green apple, just sliced citrus and touches of wet stone and white flowers. The racy and beautifully detailed flavors exude a subtle minerality on the bone-dry and youthfully austere finish. I quite like this but the combination of austerity and exceptionally finale may not be for everyone. Drink through 2026+.
