Francois Mikulski, Monthelie "Toisieres" Rouge
Located at the entrance to Monthelie village; on a south-west facing slope. The vines are about 40 years old. Les Toisières was once a quarry, where flat stones were extracted for roofing. Clay-limestone terroir, producing elegant wines with fine tannins.
The cuvée is vinified in vats for about 15 days; it is then placed in barrels, where it remains for at least 18 months. We use about 20% new barrels.
