Laurent Miquel's wines are all of exceptional quality. Thanks in part to the family's long winemaking history, they are unparalleled in their ability to achieve high quality. Cazal Viel was acquired by the Miquel family in 1791, but it wasn't until 1970 that winemaking began on a large scale. Laurent is a distinctive young winemaker who consciously chooses sustainable viticulture. They closely monitor the entire vinification process and intervene only when absolutely necessary. This results in wines with character that beautifully reflect the terroir.

The vinification process of Laurent Miquel Côte 136 Pech Cezarine

The blend consists of 80 percent Syrah and 20 percent Grenache grapes. These come from a vineyard located in the southern French Languedoc. The term "Pech" comes from the old historical name for "small hill." Laurent Miquel named this wine Pech because the vineyard is situated in a hilly area at an altitude of 136 meters. The altitude is also reflected in the name. The vineyard enjoys a wonderful climate, resulting in high-quality grapes. To ensure that all the delicious aromas are preserved, the grapes are harvested at sunrise. They are then transported to the cellar, where every effort is made to preserve the elegance that the terroir imparts. The grapes are rigorously selected and destemmed, followed by a short fermentation at a low temperature. After this, 22 percent of the wine is aged in old oak barrels, the rest in stainless steel tanks.

What does the Laurent Miquel Côte 136 Pech Cezarine taste like?

The result is a beautiful red wine with aromas of ripe fruit. The palate reveals notes of cherries, and the wine is beautifully balanced and has a fresh acidity. The finish is full and smooth, making this wine more than complete. It pairs excellently with red meat and also pairs well with aged cheeses.
