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. His Volnay is all about small-batch charm—crafted from vines planted in 1947 and 1976, with just 4,000 bottles produced each year. The organically tended vineyard, rooted in brown silt and fractured rock, brings serious terroir vibes. Aged for 14 months in oak (35% new), it’s packed with red fruit, smoky hints, and a kick of blackberry, pepper, and a touch of chocolate. With its 15-year aging potential, it’s perfect for pairing with roasted meats, game, or a funky cheese board.
