Francois Mikulski Volnay Santenots Du Milieu 2023
The Francois Mikulski Volnay 2023 is a red wine from France, specifically the Burgundy region, within the subregion of the Côte de Beaune. The wine is a 'Premier Cru' from the 'Santenots du Milieu' vineyard, a southern part of Volnay that borders Meursault. Francois Mikulski, who inherited his first vines in 1992, established the domaine in Meursault with his wife Marie-Pierre, pursuing a vision of authenticity, purity, and elegance. The winery's philosophy is centred on practicing organic farming and sustainable soil management, treating vines as living organisms and using minimal intervention in the cellar.
Wine Description
-
Varietal Composition: This wine is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir. The fruit comes from old family-owned parcels planted in 1947 and 1976.
-
Colour: Based on typical Volnay from this producer, the wine would display a deep red or cherry to crushed raspberry robe.
-
Aroma: It is often described as having a luminous, subtle perfume, with aromas of red and black fruits, such as raspberry and cherry. Additional notes include mocha coffee, spice, and subtle floral notes like peony.
-
Palate & Body: The style is medium bodied or full bodied with a delicate and silky texture. The palate is often fresh and juicy with red fruit flavours, often centred on cherry, raspberry, and redcurrant.
-
Stylistic Notes: The 2023 is described as a wine of poise and power, built to evolve gracefully. It reveals a subtle balance between power and lightness, combining the delicacy of Volnay with a fine freshness. It has fine, mature, silky tannins, making it surprisingly soft and approachable.
-
Finish: The finish is long and elegant.
-
ABV: The Alcohol By Volume (ABV) is approximately 13.5 percent.
-
Certification: The domaine employs 'lutte raisonnée' and practices organic vineyard management, though it is not formally certified. The wine is aged for 12 to 14 months in oak barrels (35 percent new oak.)
Food Pairing
-
This structured Pinot Noir pairs well with cooked red meat and game.
-
Suggested pairings include 'veal casserole with carrots and mushrooms', 'oven baked guinea fowl with puréed potatoes and apples', or 'roast goose stuffed with dried fruits'.
-
It is also an ideal accompaniment for very good quality 'raw milk cheeses'.
