Bourgogne Rouge Francois Mikulski 2015

This type of wine is known as “l’enfant terrible” in wine’s world: it is an aristocratic and original wine variety, which manages to give birth to extraordinary wines in Burgundy. The Bourgogne wine produced by Francois Mikulski derives from two old vineyards, Lombois and Durots, that give it a great concentration. This wine presents a quite light ruby red colour, with some purple nuances, while it includes a rich and elegant bouquet, together with scents of currants, blackberry and violet. Extremely elegant, soft and refined, this wine gives excellent results in combination with roasted red meats, game, fresh cheeses and medium seasoned cheeses. Moreover, it has a great capacity of aging, but the wine-makers suggest you to drink it at once, in order to taste in a better way its character.

The property was built in 1992, later than the other Burgundy estates. In spite of the lack of wine-makers in the family, Francois Mikulski managed to enter in wine branch, because he did not want to continue his Polish father’s career. In fact Francois believes that often sons do not want to continue their father’s work, and in that moment the family philosophy breaks.For Francois himself was easy to pass from a family sector to another one, because he managed to change what he wanted. Together with his wife, Francois was able to change the bottles’labels, by creating some innovative ones, compared with the Burgundy traditional ones.Nowadays Domaine Mikulski covers 8,5 hectares, all rental, while the vineyards are situated in Meursault and other near districts.
