Domaine Mikulski 1er Cru Meursault Caillerets Rouge 2001 AOC 0.75l is a discovery set against a typically Burgundy backdrop: a red wine originating from Caillerets, one of the most celebrated crus in the Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, but hailing from Meursault with an unexpected personality. The 2001 vintage endowed the wine with measured maturity, a supple texture, and a distinctive clarity, allowing it to express a seamless balance between power and refinement. The history of Domaine Mikulski is one of care and identity: a winery that has built a reputation for its attention to terroir, responsible vineyard management, and a philosophy that combines tradition and experimentation, with a vocation to enhance the unique characteristics of the site. The production approach is based on respect for the viticultural cycle, controlled grape ripening, and an aging process that favors a balance between structure and freshness, avoiding excesses that isolate the wine from its territorial context. This 1er Cru Meursault Caillerets Rouge stands out for the uniqueness of a red grape that interacts with a typically white terroir, delivering a smooth tannic texture, a pronounced minerality, and a depth of fruit reminiscent of dark berries, enveloped by delicate spices and a light toastiness that doesn't overwhelm the balance. Elegance, body, and persistence are evident in the tasting: the palate is creamy but never rounded, the savory flavor supports the finish, and the acidity is just the right balance to pair with characterful cuisine, from rich white meats to flavorful mushrooms and mature cheeses. Within the Domaine Mikulski range, this wine represents a key choice for those seeking a bold interpretation of the terroir, capable of transforming a simple drinking occasion into a moment of dialogue between time, place, and person. In conclusion, STELT's imprint in this Domaine Mikulski 1er Cru Meursault Caillerets Rouge 2001 AOC 0.75l is that of wines capable of recounting landscape and memory, without haste and with a clean line that invites exploration.
