Domaine François Mikulski - Bourgogne Côte d'Or - Red - 2022

Wine:

From just 1.3 hectares of organically farmed old vines across two parcels, the 2022 Red Bourgogne Côte d’Or Pinot Noir is a small-production cuvée that perfectly captures the estate’s signature style. This first release bursts with aromas of cherry, blackcurrant, and ripe red berries, supported by a lovely thread of minerality. The palate is generous yet fresh, with a broad texture, fine tannins, and vibrant fruit laced with spice. It finishes with energy and confidence. A beautifully crafted Red Burgundy — ideal with cured meats, country pâté, or a seared beef filet.

Vinification:

Area: 1.30 hectares. Subsoil composed of fine river alluvium, common in the lower part of the hillside. Aged in oak barrels for around 10 months, then racked and transferred to vats for 2 months before bottling.
The vines are grown using non-certified organic methods.

Temperature:

Serve between 14 and 16°C.
