The eighth in a line of winemakers, Laurent Miquel joined the family tradition by transforming their Viognier plantings into an accessible, high-quality product. You can feel the passion for the grape variety in this wine, with its lovely flavours of yellow apple and tangerine accented by hints of sunflower seeds and honeysuckle.
'The idea was to create something really fresh, mineral and crisp, and get the purity of Albariño,' says Laurent Miquel, and he's done just that. From his plots of Albariño planted at some 200m on limestone in the Corbières. This vintage shows a peachy outline to the citrus fruit: bright lemon zest punches through a saline finish. Refreshing and drinkable. Drinking window: 2023-2025. Score - 90. (Natalie Earl, decanter.com, Dec. 1, 2023)
Laurent Miquel's history is filled with eight generations of winemaking. This Chardonnay is a perfect example of their craftsmanship. Anticipate ripe citrus and tropical fruit aromas with notes of apple and pear. Medium-bodied, with pear, peach and melon flavours on the lingering finish. Pair with chicken and seafood.
A blend of Chardonnay and old-vine Viognier grown at high altitudes, this wine is forged in stainless steel for maximum freshness and vibrancy. It showcases juicy peach and zesty citrus notes within an elegant frame.
