Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

Mikulski is the new hot brand to watch, and frankly we'd never get our hands on a single bottle had it not been for restaurant closures. We are beyond excited to have a few cases of this super sexy 1er Cru Volnay Santenots du Milieu, yes, that Volnay Santenots, the one made legendary by Lafon. Side note: '99 and '02 Lafon Volnay Santenots are life altering wines if you can find them. Known for their rugged tannic structure and plummy flavors, these wines are built for the cellar, but Mikulski's version is surprisingly plump and forward. Black cherry and cherry blossom aromas meet, black plum and blueberry flavors. This is impossible to resist right when you open it and a Volnay Santenots that won't require a decade to be approachable. This is sexy stuff!

We have only 240 bottles...while they last!

PAIRING IDEAS: It’s Saturday, we DO have a bottle in hand, so it’s off to the store for lamb chops and mushrooms, always perfect. Grilled or roasted with the mushrooms, they will play wonderfully with this wine!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Keep it mellow and a bit moody with some classic oldies from The Cure. Alternatively, try the new/old Pretenders album (2017), we quite liked it.

About the Producer

François’ Mikulski’s father was Lieutenant Mieczyslaw Mikulski who escaped from occupied Poland in 1939, fleeing to England and joining the Resistance troops of the Free Polish Forces. There he met his future wife, a Burgundian woman working on an English army base, and moved to Brussels where François was born and raised. Luckily for us and the world of wine, François spent his formative summers in Burgundy, where he fell in love with the agrarian lifestyle and determined that he would one day make wine himself. He inherited his first plots of Meursault in 1992 from his late uncle, Pierre Boillot. Since that time, he has relentlessly pursued his authenticity, purity and elegance through acute attention to biological balance in the vineyard and terroir minded élevage practices in the cellar.
