Boccon, Thomas 2022 Bourgogne Cote d'Or Blanc

Thomas is married to Francois Mikulskis’ daughter, Anna and is currently the winemaker at the family domaine. In addition to his work for his father-in-law, Thomas makes just 10 barrels a year under his own name and label. These 10 barrels are made up of Bourgogne Blanc Cote d’Or, Meursault, and just 1 barrel of Meursault 1er Cru Pourzots! Boccon was born in Dijon and began working with Francois Mikulski in 2011 while studying at Lycée Viticole de Beaune. Upon graduating he went to New Zealand seeking experience with different climates, grape varieties and modern styles of winemaking. Upon returning home, he spent one year with Domaine de Croix before returning to Domaine Francois Mikulski.

The nose here has a touch of herbaceous-ness but the palette screams of chalk and minerality. There is a linear sense with the wine, yet it still has the structure and weight that is expected in this style of wine.
