Cailleret's Meursault Premier Cru 1999
Caillerets Meursault Premier Cru er fremstillet af Domaine François Mikulski, et familiedrevet vinhus med base i Meursault. Grundlæggeren François Mikulski er af fransk-polsk afstamning, hvor faderen var polsk, og moderen stammede fra Boillot-familien, som er en central slægt i Meursaults vinhistorie. Han arvede sine vingårde fra sin morfar Claude Boillot, og i 1991-1992 blev den første årgang under eget navn frigivet. I dag driver han huset sammen med sin kone Marie-Pierre.
Vinen kommer fra marken Caillerets og er klassificeret som Appellation Premier Cru Contrôlée. Meursault er beliggende i Côte de Beaune i Bourgogne og er en af regionens mest berømte appellationer. Selvom området ikke har nogen Grand Cru-marker, rummer det mange højt anerkendte Premier Cru-marker. Årgang 1999 er for området en topårgang præget af stor finesse og dybde, og den har opnået en score på 95 point. Vinen er udelukkende lavet på Chardonnay, som er en af verdens mest udbredte og kendte grønne druesorter. Druen er definerende for netop Bourgogne, men dyrkes også i stor stil i områder som Champagne, Californien og Oregon.
Domaine François Mikulski råder over 8-9 hektar, der er fordelt mellem Meursault og Volnay. Deres portefølje omfatter en imponerende række af Meursaults topcru'er såsom Goutte d'Or, Genevrières, Charmes, Porusots og Perrières, samt Santenots-du-Milieu fra Volnay. Domænet arbejder ud fra principperne om lutte raisonnée med en økologisk tilgang til vindyrkningen, og vinen er aftappet direkte på domænet.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Burgundy
Burgundy in eastern France was shaped by medieval monks who mapped the area's countless terroirs. The region grows almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and has turned terroir into an art form with its finely meshed system of climats. From Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, the limestone soil yields some of the world's most sought-after and elegant wines.
Toen deze wijn werd gemaakt, zag de wereld er heel anders uit. Hier zijn enkele verhalen die zich ontvouwden toen deze fles rustig in de kelder rijpte.
