Mikulski’s 2007 Meursault Gouttes d’Or – like his Le Limozin, representing a very small parcel – confirms the potential synergy of this vintage with that cru. A combination of honeyed and nut oil richness with bright, luscious citrus leads to a finish of refreshment and cut with a tactile sensation of crushed stone and of sheer grip. Anything this might lack in refinement it makes up for in sheer energy, and I would anticipate it being worth following for 5-7 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.
