Domaine Francois Mikulski Meursault Poruzots Premier Cru 2018

The 2018 Domaine François Mikulski Meursault Poruzots is a remarkable white Burgundy, showcasing the rich terroir of the Meursault region in Côte de Beaune. This wine comes from the Premier Cru vineyard Poruzots, known for producing Meursaults with intensity, structure, and depth. The 2018 vintage, with its ideal growing conditions, adds ripeness and elegance to this wine. In the glass, this Meursault Poruzots 2018 displays a brilliant golden color with hints of pale green, reflecting both its youth and vibrant character. On the nose, it opens with enticing aromas of ripe stone fruits like peach and apricot, alongside notes of citrus zest, white flowers, and honey. There are also subtle layers of hazelnut, fresh butter, and a touch of flint that add complexity and depth.

On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and creamy, with a beautifully balanced structure. The texture is rich yet lively, thanks to a well-integrated acidity that highlights the fruit flavors and provides freshness. The palate follows through with flavors of ripe pear, lemon, and almond, complemented by a delicate minerality that speaks to the vineyard’s unique limestone soils. The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of citrus and a hint of toasted oak. This 2018 Meursault Poruzots is enjoyable now for its freshness and complexity, but it also has the structure to age gracefully for 8-10 years, developing even more depth and nuance.
