DOMAINE FRANCOIS MIKULSKI MEURSAULT MEIX CHAVAUX 2023

Mikulski's 0.47-hectare parcel in Meix Chavaux sits at 300 meters — among the highest elevations in Meursault, oriented northeast toward Auxey-Duresses, where rockier, shallower soils over layered limestone bedrock produce a leaner, more mineral style than the richer village-level sites below. The name translates roughly as "head of the valley," and the elevated position delivers a cooler growing season and tighter acidity. Organically farmed 20+-year-old Chardonnay is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in one-, two-, and three-year-old barrels. White peach, green apple, white flowers, and fresh mint on the nose; tense and precise on the palate with bright citrus acidity and a long, stone-edged finish. [~800 bottles produced annually.]
