Appellation: Meursault 1er Cru Controlee

Web: http://www.domainemikulski.fr/Chubby Appreciation: 92/100
Critics' Opinion: WA - 92/100, WS - 89/100, BH - 92/100, CT - 88/100
Appearance: Pale yellow straw.
Aroma: White fruits, zest, honey, elderflower, mild spices and mineral.
Palate: Rich enough but accessible. Ripe citrus an white fruits. Tangy acidity. Mineral notes. Dry.
Not so rich as expected but structure was there. Dry notes with mineral surely. Accessible now but would indeed be fascinating to age further. Definitely a fine Meursault but in my humble opinion, something was missing there: sexiness or charm perhaps?
