Some producers earn their legendary status on their own terms. François Mikulski has pursued authenticity, purity, and elegance with a sharp focus on biological balance in the vineyard and terroir-driven élevage in the cellar. After meticulous sorting, the grapes are de-stemmed and lightly pressed, then fermented with natural yeasts. François believes in restraint when it comes to new oak—typically keeping it around 20% to ensure the terroir shines through. His Hautes Côtes de Beaune Blanc is a crisp, vibrant white made from 50+ year-old vines. With laid-back elegance, it pairs effortlessly with funky cheeses, roasted white meats, or root veggies. Perfect as an aperitif or to casually impress at a dinner party—this wine is a must-have for anyone who appreciates a balance of simplicity and sophistication
