Domaine Mikulski 1er Cru Volnay Santenots de Milieu 2021 AOC 0.75l

Domaine Mikulski 1er Cru Volnay Santenots de Milieu 2021 AOC 0.75l is a wine that expresses Burgundy through a sober and concrete interpretation of the terroir, a Santenots de Milieu capable of combining elegance, depth, and a sense of balance that stands the test of time. Hailing from the Côte de Beaune, this 1er Cru label expresses in every sip the care given to the vineyards and the desire to enhance the soil's texture, offering a subtle mineral texture, a smooth but never dull mouthfeel, and a supple tannic structure that supports a flavor progression free of sudden settling. The history of Domaine Mikulski, a small family-run winery, is founded on a terroir-oriented work philosophy: carefully cultivated vines, manual harvesting, meticulous grape selection, and an aging process that prioritizes the integrity of the fruit over technical artifice. This choice distinguishes the wine from other expressions of the region, where precision is not ostentation but coherence between the aromatic profile and controlled fermentation, with a note of refinement that complements the aromas of ripe red fruits, violets, and sweet pepper, enriched by a light hint of citrus zest. The distinguishing feature is Santenots de Milieu's ability to remain restrained while revealing a complexity that invites prolonged tasting: the fruit is present without overpowering, the minerality acts as a glue between the expression of the vineyard and the winemaker's interpretation, and the balance between acidity and smoothness allows the wine to accompany refined dishes or be enjoyed in contemplation. Within the Domaine Mikulski portfolio, this 1er Cru occupies a pivotal position: it is not an empty promise but a tangible demonstration of how fidelity to terroir can be achieved without sacrificing a contemporary interpretation. The connection to the geographical area and the Volnay appellation is evident in the profile: a Burgundy distinguished by precision, elegant lightness, and a persistent flavour. In keeping with the STELT positioning, the wine presents itself as an authentic expression of terroir and patient work, offering reliable quality and a refinement that stands the test of time.
