Francois Mikulski is in the top echelon of Meursault producers. His wines are bright, mineral, racy and incredibly fine.
With a Polish name and no traditions to keep in mind Mikulski and his wife Marie-Pierre were free to create something completely new when they founded Domaine Mikulski in 1992. The most obvious result was the labels for the bottles; far from the traditional Burgundian label, Mikulski wanted a label that looked like something handwritten believing that it is what is inside the bottle that is most important.
In the vines Mikulski is a practitioner of lutte raisonnée, a system of cultivation that is essentially organic and non-interventionist. Lutte raisonnée entails holistic and balanced viticultural management with primary focus on the microbial health of the soil and the biodiversity of the vineyard.
Mikulski's wines have star status and can be found in the finest restaurants and also in the edgiest wine bars throughout France, Europe and the United States.

2021 Bourgogne Blanc
Extremely Limited - $129
"Outstanding Top value. A slightly riper and equally fresh nose offers up notes of apple, pear and lemon rind. The succulent and rounded mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors contrasts with the bone-dry, punchy and youthfully austere finish that is slightly more tightly wound. This is also better than the average example of the genre."

2021 Meursault
Extremely Limited - $329
"Made from Pellands and Pelles with Chaumes de Narvaux being almost entirely frosted. Really quite pretty aromatics, tasting ripe but balanced. Greengage fruit, medium length, the right balance of fruit and oak. Promising."

2021 Meursault 'Meix Chavaux'
Extremely Limited - $379
"Outstanding.This is also aromatically cool, airy and quite pretty with its array of apple, pear and lemon-lime zest scents. I very much like the mid-palate texture of the lightly stony medium weight flavors that deliver fine depth and length on the youthfully austere and bone-dry finale. This is lovely and sufficiently tightly wound to benefit from a few years of keeping."

2021 Meursault 'Limozin'
Extremely Limited - $449
"Fresh mid lemon, with a woody nose from the outset as is typical of this vineyard. Plenty of muscle here, intensity with some citrus infused lemon fruit, correct ripeness, good acidity and persistence. A solid Meursault with structure."

2020 Meursault 1er Cru 'Poruzots'
Extremely Limited - $499
"Outstanding. Ripe aromas of green fruit, just sliced citrus, and plenty of floral nuances are complemented by the rich, broad-shouldered and muscular flavors that are shaped by lemon-tinged acidity on the serious, muscular and notably more tightly wound finale."

2021 Meursault 1er Cru 'Genevrieres'
Extremely Limited - $679
"Sweet Spot, Outstanding. A ripe but fresh and refined nose displays notes of exotic tea, floral, pear and wet stone nuances. There is solid concentration to the well-delineated medium-bodied flavors that exude a very fine minerality on the citrusy, intense and lingering finish that is shaped by bright lemon-tinged acidity. This lightly austere effort is an exercise in class and grace that should amply repay extended keeping. In a word, lovely."

2021 Monthelie 'Les Toisieres'
Extremely Limited - $199
"There is a hint of matchstick character to the cool and airy, even wafting, aromas of mineral reduction, lemon-lime and an abundance of citrus elements. The racy and beautifully detailed middleweight flavors are akin to rolling tiny rocks around the mouth on the youthfully austere, linear and chiseled finish that stops just short of being slightly lean."

2021 Pommard
Extremely Limited - $249
"Outstanding, Top Value. A slightly riper yet still wonderfully fresh nose offers up notes of plum, red currant, dark raspberry and a hint of humus-suffused earth. There is again excellent intensity to the beautifully defined medium weight flavors that exude a refreshing salinity on the sneaky long and slightly more structured finale. This is a quality Pommard villages that will need at least a few years of patience first."

2021 Volnay 1er Cru 'Santenots-du-Milieu'
Extremely Limited - $379
"Outstanding. A plethora of floral elements, especially violet and lilac, is present on the aromas of dark cherry, red currant and pretty spice nuances. There is again a lovely sense of energy to the detailed, stony and tautly muscular flavors that possess focused power that seems to build on the youthfully austere, sappy and impressively long finish. This is a classically styled Santenots that will also need at least some patience."
