Domaine François Mikulski - Monthélie Les Toisières - Red - 2022

Wine:

Aged in barrels with 20% new oak, the 2022 Red Monthélie Les Toisières is instantly charming, with ripe fruit, warm spice, and a touch of cocoa. The palate mirrors the nose with a burst of vibrant blackberry and morello cherry, all wrapped in a fresh, well-balanced structure. The tannins are fully ripe and polished, framing a dense, tightly woven core that promises excellent aging potential. Give it three years, and it will shine alongside roast chicken or rabbit with lardons. A refined, energetic Red Burgundy with serious depth.
