Description
What kind of wine it is
The Meursault Premier Cru Les Charmes by Francois Mikulski is an elegant still white wine from Burgundy. Made from Chardonnay grapes, this wine combines volume and precision, revealing a pleasant creamy structure. On the nose, aromas of mimosa honey, white flowers and delicate pastry notes emerge. On the palate, the Chardonnay delivers a juicy and concentrated sip, enriched by hints of dried fruit. The finish is persistent, driven by a vibrant mineral backbone that perfectly balances softness and freshness.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Meursault, within the renowned Premier Cru Les Charmes. The vineyards are rooted in a rocky subsoil of limestone marl, an essential element that gives the wine a distinct savoury identity. The vines are managed using uncertified organic methods on plots that have been carefully cultivated for generations. The natural balance between this microclimate and the limestone marl results in a clear and taut expression, focused on mineral definition and elegance.
How it is produced
Production begins with a careful manual harvest to preserve the integrity of the bunches. This is followed by meticulous barrel ageing, where the measured use of new oak ensures the authenticity of the terroir is not overshadowed. After bottling, the result is a white wine capable of enhancing dishes such as sole meunière or veal fillet with porcini mushrooms, where the citrus freshness elegantly harmonises even the richest and creamiest preparations.
History and Curiosities
The Meursault Premier Cru Les Charmes 2023 by François Mikulski originates in the heart of Burgundy from pure Chardonnay grapes, grown on prized limestone marl using uncertified organic methods. The artisanal care is evident through a meticulous manual harvest and expertly calibrated barrel ageing, with the use of new barriques limited to 20% so as not to overpower the authentic expression of the terroir. This dedication gives rise to a white wine of rare sensuality, characterised by an elegant mineral imprint that harmoniously balances its buttery texture.
