Domaine Francois Mikulski Volnay Santenots du Milieu 1er Cru 2017
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.
