Saint Aubin Blanc Miolane 2023

Saint Aubin Blanc Miolane, 100% Chardonnay, round, generous, ample on the palate and at the same time delicate in a texture that lingers for a long finish. The acidity is just amazing here. Several years in 
bottle will reward patience as you can sense the shimmering nervosity of the wine. Here again we get the sense that the wine is dancing on the palate with Chardonnay showing its incredible ability to display depth, texture and warmth whilst remaining as fresh as a spring meadow.  Super, lovely Vin de Bourgogne.

The Miolane estate consists of nine hectares of vineyards at Saint-Aubin, a village in the prestigious Côte des Blancs area.

Operations are run by Patrick and his dynamic, forward-thinking daughter, Barbara. Dad looks after the vineyard; Barbara is in charge of the wine-making and marketing. Their partnership has yielded excellent results with delicious minerally white wines with plenty of flesh but not spoiled by overuse of oak or too much richness. Patrick and Barbara Miolane work the whole of the estate on lutte raisonnée principles, with the aim of conserving the environment and reducing chemical treatments to a minimum. They do not use herbicides, for instance, and each plot is ploughed/cultivated to ensure that the soil is well aerated and receives plenty of oxygen.
