originality

Fleshy and full of vitality, this is a cuvée with an explosive expression of tangy red fruit. A blend of Merlot and Carignan, it goes well with a fine piece of beef or an aperitif with cold meats! Cuvée plaisir by Théophile Milan! (bottle without capsule)

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))

About the domain :

Domaine Henri Milan, well known in the Parisian microcosm for a few "nature wines" (without added sulfur), produces a much wider range of wines on its 15 hectares of vines just outside Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Established since 1956 in the Baux de Provence appellation area, he left in 2007 to pursue his own path, following Henri's philosophy as a man of conviction and explorer of an interpretation of winemaking with as few inputs as possible. He has also decided to label all his wines as Vin de France, so as to be totally free in his choices. Since 2013, his daughter Emmanuelle has slowly taken over the reins. Since then, the wines have been moving towards greater precision, and that's not to our displeasure.

Rated (2020 guide) 90/100 (Vintage 2018)

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the domain :

In the Galine district of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, a small town in the Alpilles region popular with a bourgeois clientele, the iconoclastic Henri Milan, supported by his son Théo, remains faithful to the boldly free wines he initiated in the 1990s. Vinification, far from academic standards, is carried out with little sulfur, bringing to light the twirling expressions of fruit coming mainly from limestone scree and blue marl. Produced from short maceration of Grenache, Syrah, Merlot, Cinsault and Cabernet Sauvignon, the reds prove tasty, from the fruit-driven cuvées to the ambitious S&X, Eliott and Le Clos. The whites, La Carrée (pure roussanne) and Le Grand Blanc (grenache blanc, rolle, roussanne, chardonnay, muscat petit grains), assert their identity with a high relief of straightforward flavors.

Un vino fuori dalle righe, bella freschezza. Sarei curioso di assaggiare tutta la loro gamma.
