There is just a single barrel of the 2015 Meursault Le Limozin this year, but it works well on the nose with bright apricot and nectarine notes that feel more defined than the Mes Chevaux. The palate is well balanced with brisk acidity neatly counterbalancing the fresh mango, pawpaw and citrus notes neatly entwined with the oak. This all leads to a composed and harmonious finish. This surpassed my expectations and is well worth hunting down.

This year, Mikulski elected not to blend into his generic cuvee this crop of 2007 Meursault Le Limozin, with results that are refreshingly and succulently vintage-typical. Rich melon, pear, and quince are joined by bright citrus and chalk in a vivacious and dynamic exchange. The combination of smooth texture and ripe fruit with subtle pungency and invigoration is impressively persistent. This should be well worth attending to over the next 4-5 years. Francois Mikulski began picking his 2007s the August 31 and harvest lasted a full two weeks. He performed “a bit more severe settling than normal” of solid matter to insure healthy musts, and while the vinous results are sometimes a bit texturally spare, as a group these wines boast consistently impressive distinctiveness of personality, energy, refreshment, and grip.
