What refinement this Viognier is! It's a remarkably characterful and modern white wine from one of France's finest winemakers. It even received an 8.5 in the 2018 Great Hamersma Guide. This is likely due to the craftsmanship and passion with which Laurent Miquel's wines are made.

The origins of the Laurent Miquel winery

The winery has been in the Miquel family since 1791. Today, the eighth generation is at the helm. Laurent Miquel was taken in hand by his father, top winemaker Henri Miquel, who wanted to pass on his passion and experience to his son. With that same passion, Laurent is successfully making his mark, receiving numerous praise and awards at international tastings. The winery's two passions are the Syrah and Viognier grape varieties. The vineyards of this Solas Viognier are located in the commune of Cessenon in the southern part of the Saint-Chinian wine region, at an altitude of between one hundred and two hundred meters. The soil consists of limestone and loam with a rocky, pebbly subsoil and covers a total of fifty hectares.

A special wine with lots of character

The Laurent Miquel Solas Viognier takes its name from the optimal north-south orientation of the vines relative to the sun. The grapes receive gentle warmth from the sun in the morning and evening, while this orientation offers protection from the harsh midday sun. The grapes are harvested by hand, and then a portion of the wine is aged in oak barrels. This results in a golden-yellow wine with a green, sparkling sheen. In the vibrant aroma, we detected hints of ripe apricots, mango, and light citrus notes. The beautiful, well-structured palate is rounded out by a ripe bouquet of yellow fruit, a touch of spice, and vanilla! A truly unique wine with plenty of character, perfect as an aperitif and also delicious with grilled fish.
