Domaine Francois Mikulski Meursault Le Limozin 2023
1. Introduction
This white wine is from France, specifically the Burgundy region, within the Cote de Beaune and the village appellation of Meursault. Domaine François Mikulski was established in 1992 by François and his wife, Marie-Pierre, taking over family vineyards. François was born in Brussels to a Polish father and a Burgundian mother, and he spent his formative summers in Meursault, where he fell in love with the region and its agricultural lifestyle. The winemaking philosophy centres on producing authentic, elegant, and pure wines by practising non-certified organic viticulture and using a minimal amount of new oak barrels (typically 20%) to let the purity of the fruit and the terroir's minerality express itself. The 'Limozin' climat lies just below the prestigious Premier Cru 'Les Genevrières' and often produces wines of exceptional substance.
2. Wine Description
The 2023 Meursault Limozin displays a brilliant light gold colour, likely with slight green highlights. The nose is discreet but complex, with great depth, revealing notes of subtle dried fruits, white currants, cream puff, icing sugar, and white flowers, including lily and violet. On the palate, the wine is wonderfully fresh and energetic, with a full-bodied, generous, and juicy texture. It offers ample fruit, including pear, caramelised apple, apricot, and a mix of sweet spices, liquorice, and cardamom. The wine is long, focused, and precise, showcasing a distinct mineral structure on the finish, with notes of cast iron and other metals.
The wine is 100% Chardonnay. The optimal drinking window is suggested to be at least five years of cellaring from the time of bottling, and it is a safe bet that the youthful character will persist for a number of years. The wine's ABV is approximately 13.5%. The Domaine is a practitioner of lutte raisonnée and employs non-certified organic farming practices.
