François Mikulski Bourgogne Aligoté 2018
Burgundy, FranceFrançois 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). These organically farmed 1929 and 1948 planted aligote vines are in prime Meursault, native fermented in tank and older wood. Tight lemon verbena rules the saline palate, mouthwatering with mineral-lined acidity, and lined with a fine layer of lees. Meadow herbs, wild green herbs fill the rest of the slender frame, extending long on the finish with a mineral buzz. Wow - such an impactful, yet subtle aligote, and amongst the best I've tried.Tasted: 08 November 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $45.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
