WINE DESCRIPTION
François Mikulski Meursault 1er Cru 'Poruzots' is an exceptional Chardonnay from the esteemed Meursault appellation in Burgundy. Crafted from vines that are approximately 50 years old, this wine reflects the rich heritage of the Poruzots vineyard, which is cultivated using organic, though non-certified, methods. The vineyard, located on an east-facing slope, benefits from a unique subsoil composed of brown silt over fractured rock, allowing deep root development and moisture retention. François Mikulski’s meticulous winemaking approach involves aging the wine in oak barrels, with only 20% new oak, ensuring the terroir’s expression remains at the forefront. The result is a wine of great elegance and complexity, with a delicate balance of minerality, richness, and refined oak influence, showcasing the best of Meursault’s premier cru vineyards.
