François Mikulski Meursault Poruzots 2016
Meursault, Côte de Beaune, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceFrom 50+ year old vines sourced from the east-facing upper portion of the little known Meursault 1er Cru, Poruzots-Dessus, this is organically farmed chardonnay from brown silt over fractured rock, native fermented and aged in barrel (20 percent new). There is zero denying chardy is a chief terroir-transmitter when you taste this. A stream of tight and driving minerality beds this medium bodied, powerful wine, one with a slight and well-handled reductive intent. Lemon curd, smoked quartz, subtle white florals with a crystalline lemon finish. This stunner deserves to be opened in advance, or cellared for a few years. François Mikulski’s father was Lieutenant Mieczyslaw Mikulski, an escapee from occupied Poland in 1939, fleeing to England and joining the Resistance troops of the Free Polish Forces. It was there he met his future wife, a Burgundian working on an English army base. They moved to Brussels where François was born and raised. François spent his formative summers in Burgundy, where he fell in love with wine culture (fortunately for us).Tasted: 03 March 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $167.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
