Description
What kind of wine is it
Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc La Canière by Patrick Miolane is a still white wine made from Chardonnay grapes. Its colour is straw yellow with golden highlights, heralding a profile dominated by delicate notes of white flowers. On the palate, a marked minerality emerges, combined with a vibrant freshness that supports a structured and enveloping texture. The finish is rounded and persistent, perfect when paired with shellfish, sushi or soft cheeses.
Where does it come from
The Chardonnay used for this wine comes from Burgundy, in the heart of the prestigious Chassagne-Montrachet area, specifically from the vineyards of Champ Gain and Cailleret. The vines grow on limestone-clay soils, whose specific geological composition imparts the typical savoury and mineral character of the region to the wine. The result is a white wine of great balance, capable of expressing the authentic identity of Burgundy with elegance and clarity.
How is it produced
The winemaking process initially involves destemming the grapes. Fermentation takes place slowly with the help of indigenous yeasts for about fifteen to twenty days, ensuring the development of a precise aromatic bouquet. Afterwards, the wine undergoes maturation in barrels for thirty-six months. During this period, the constant stirring of the lees enriches the body and texture of the wine, maintaining its freshness and resulting in a harmonious and velvety finish.
History and Curiosities
Domaine Patrick Miolane produces this refined Chardonnay from the calcareous-clay soils of Burgundy. The slow fermentation with indigenous yeasts enhances the authenticity of the Chassagne-Montrachet AOC, while the wine's enveloping texture comes to life thanks to maturation in barrels for thirty-six months; the periodic stirring of the lees further increases its complexity. This meticulous process imparts a pronounced minerality on the palate, balanced by a vibrant freshness and a soft, rounded finish.

Operations are run by Patrick, a larger-than-life character who loves a good joke, and his dynamic, forward-looking daughter, Barbara. They make a perfect pair, each responsible for their own sphere of activity: Dad looks after the vineyard; Barbara is in charge of the wine-making and marketing.
The estate produces fourteen Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet appellations, including premier cru, villages and regional wines. The whites very much reflect the local growing conditions (the terroir), in particular the mineral quality of the soil. Where reds are concerned, the estate boasts a number of pinot noir wines which are aged for a long time and allowed to mature slowly. They are rich in red-berry-fruit flavours, with finely structured tannins.
Patrick and Barbara Miolane sell to private individuals and welcome visitors keen to taste their wines, by appointment. Read more
