Francois Mikulski Meursault les Meix Chavaux 2023
This 2023 François Mikulski Meursault Les Meix Chavaux glistens with a light gold hue tinged with lime juice, offering an ethereally refined nose of fine herbs such as coriander and chervil, spring flowers, and hints of anise and lavender overlaying airy orchard fruits of white peach, pear and apple; the palate is precise yet intense, with white‑fruit coulis mingled with delicate green and white pepper, juniper, clove and liquorice, all framed by vivid minerality and consummate balance. At once charming and structured this is a wine built for both immediate grace and long‑term unfolding.
