FRANCOIS MIKULSKI BOURGOGNE HAUTES COTES DE BEAUNE CHARDONNAY 2022

The remarkable legacy of François Mikulski—whose Polish lieutenant father met his Burgundian mother while serving in the Free Polish Forces—finds exquisite expression in his Hautes Côtes de Beaune Blanc, crafted from practicing organic Chardonnay vineyards in elevated limestone-rich soils of Nolay and Meloisey. The wine reflects Mikulski's unwavering commitment to terroir authenticity, developed since inheriting his uncle's plots in 1992, with 30+ year-old vines adding depth to this elegant expression that showcases brilliant minerality and focused orchard fruit, all enhanced by his signature restrained oak treatment (10% new) that allows the vineyard's voice to sing with crystalline precision and a subtle richness that captures Burgundy's exceptional high-altitude terroir.
