Description
What kind of wine it is
The Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Rouge by Patrick Miolane is a still red wine that clearly expresses the character of Burgundy. Made from Gamay grapes, it displays an intense and deep red colour in the glass. The bouquet is a complex and fragrant weave of red fruit aromas that invites tasting. On the palate, it is round and elegant, supported by a subtle and ethereal flavour profile. The experience concludes with a persistent mineral finish, defining a clean style that fully enhances the characteristics of the grape variety.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the commune of Saint-Aubin, a renowned wine-growing area located within the famous Côte de Beaune. The vines take root in clay-limestone soils, a geological matrix that gives the wine aromatic precision and a distinctive finish. Its belonging to the prestigious Saint-Aubin area reflects the deep connection between the Burgundy region and the expression of the fruit. The interaction between this specific microclimate and the soil composition results in well-defined aromas and a finely balanced sip.
How it is produced
The process begins with a rigorous manual harvest, an essential step to preserve the integrity of the bunches until they reach the winery. Vinification is guided by spontaneity: fermentation starts slowly using indigenous yeasts and lasts between fifteen and twenty days, a technique that ensures excellent aromatic fidelity. Afterwards, maturation takes place in barrels for a prolonged period of three years. This slow ageing allows the wine to refine its structure and stabilise its colour in deep shades, consolidating its intense fruity character.
History and Curiosities

Fermentation with indigenous yeasts and ageing for three years in barrels give the wine a deep red colour and complex aromas of red fruits.

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
