Francois Mikulski, Meursault Premier Cru, Genevrieres 2023

The François Mikulski Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières 2023 is an elegant, classically styled white Burgundy that balances finesse with substance. The nose shows ripe white peach and citrus peel, white florals and a mineral, wet-stone character, with a subtle spicy note. On the palate the wine is medium-to-full bodied, framed by fresh acidity and a rounded, slightly creamy mid-palate; oak is used with restraint to support rather than dominate. The finish is long and precise, leaving a chalky mineral impression and a persistent citrus-tinged aftertaste. This is a serious Meursault suited to richer fish, shellfish with buttered sauces, or soft, buttery cheeses.
