Domaine François Mikulski - Meursault 1er cru - Les Charmes Vigne de 1913 - Magnum - White - 2020

Wine:

The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes Vieilles Vignes de 1913 White is a rare and remarkable wine, produced from just 0.18 hectares of vines planted by the winemaker’s grandfather over a century ago. Aged without new oak, it borders on Grand Cru depth, offering a rich, expansive texture—especially in this outstanding vintage. Despite its opulence, freshness remains at the core, with captivating aromas of candied pear, quince, yellow peach, pineapple, and bergamot. The palate is extraordinarily smooth and sensual, echoing these flavors with a cascade of spices, leading to a truly majestic finish. This is a wine meant to be savored slowly—especially in Magnum format, where its ageing potential and convivial nature reach new heights.
