Obscure grape varieties, the omission of sulphur, a highly intense colour and aromas... all of these make this natural Provençal rosé a true original. Great work! More info

This rosé is a blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache Noir and Syrah from a terroir of limestone and clay with blue marl subsoils. Cultivated in accordance with organic principles and harvested by hand, the grapes are directly pressed. The wine is then matured in concrete tanks. On tasting, it reveals a fairly intense, slightly cloudy appearance, and an aromatic bouquet marked by notes of figs and sweet spices. Its well-integrated acidity is a perfect balance for its pulpy substance.

Vin de France Papillon Henri Milan serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Lasagnes au fromage de chèvre et aux épinards, Moules à la provençale, Paella.

Information about domain Henri Milan

Henri Milan is a bit of a character. He turned his back on the Baux-de-Provence appellation in 2007 in order to fully express his creativity in the vineyard, just a few kilometres from Domaine Trévallon which took the same path. The very incarnation of la vie en rose, pink is the inviting colour we find everywhere at this domain, representing the lees of the wine and inspiring the vigneron in his work. In the winery, no additives are used aside from a very light dose of sulphites, and there is no fining or filtering in the process. The 15 hectares of vines have been cultivated organically since 2002, and this move towards natural production was inspired by encounters with figures such as Claude Bourguignon, a researcher in agrobiology. His son Théophile helps with sales side of things, and his daughter Emmanuelle is their in-house oenologist. A family affair, therefore, which shows no sign of slowing down, such is the passion that propels the Milans.
