Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières 2011 – François Mikulski

Grace and aromatic precision from one of Meursault’s finest climats

Vineyard philosophy

Les Genevrières is a south-east-facing premier cru in the heart of Meursault, known for combining finesse and tension thanks to its deep, well-draining limestone soils. Mikulski works his vines with organic methods, avoiding certification but practicing total respect for the land. In 2011, a relatively early harvest preserved natural acidity and delicate aromas, offering a wine of balance and clarity.

Approach in the cellar

Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts, followed by 12 months of aging in French oak barrels (about 20% new), and an additional 6 months in stainless steel. Mikulski’s style favors purity and precision, avoiding over-oaking or heavy-handed techniques. The result is a measured, elegant Meursault with aging potential and expressive terroir.

Tasting notes

Light golden yellow with green reflections.
The nose opens with wildflowers, lime zest, flint, and fresh hazelnut.
The palate is broad yet tense, with fine acidity, a polished structure, and a long, mineral, slightly toasted finish.

Domaine François Mikulski

Natural elegance and Burgundian precision in Meursault

Located in the heart of Meursault, Domaine François Mikulski has become one of the most respected and sought-after names in the Côte de Beaune. Founded in the early 1990s, the domaine reflects François Mikulski’s personal vision—rooted in discretion, perfectionism, and a deep reverence for Burgundian terroir.

A vineyard philosophy that listens to the land

In Mikulski’s vineyards, every action is guided by a single principle: respect for the living soil and the unique voice of each parcel. The estate’s vines—spread across Meursault, Puligny, Volnay, Pommard, and Monthélie—are farmed using organic practices (not certified by choice), with light touch vineyard work, minimal copper, and an obsessive attention to vine health. The goal is never to force, but to accompany—François and his son Jules observe and adapt, always letting nature lead.

In the cellar: discipline and restraint

The winemaking is a natural extension of the vineyard work: discreet, focused, and minimalist. Fermentations are spontaneous, bâtonnage is rare, and new oak is used judiciously—rarely more than 20%. Each lieu-dit is vinified separately to preserve its identity. The resulting wines are models of clarity, freshness, verticality, and precision, never chasing opulence, but rewarding those who appreciate finesse.
