In the vineyard, in the cellar

Vinification with 5 days’ maceration; grape varieties blended during vinification, using whole bunches, with no fining or filtration. Short ageing in cement vats. AB certified. Zero added SO2.
The estate
Henri Milan is a unique estate in the wine world: an OVNI (Unidentified Winemaker Origin). For Henri, who established the estate’s reputation, winemaking is not a matter of technique. It is more about naturally supporting what the vines offer, using organic and biodynamic methods. His son Théophile now continues the adventure, preserving the estate’s style and sensibility. The result is original and complex wines, each reflecting its terroir. A harmony whose finesse and texture often evoke Burgundy… but in Provence.
