The beginning of the Laurent Miquel winery

Since 1791, the Miquel family has cared for the Cazal Viel estate, formerly managed by the monks of Fontcaude Abbey. The land surrounding the estate was very fertile and was used for hunting and winemaking. However, at that time, the wine yielded little, and the family earned little wealth. Almost 200 years later, in 1970, Syrah was cultivated extensively in these vineyards, and thus winemaking began. In 1980, Henri Miquel released his first vintage. Currently, Laurent Miquel is the owner of this renowned estate and is considered one of the best young winemakers in the South of France. The vineyards are located in the commune of Cessenon in the southern part of the Saint-Chinian region at an altitude of one hundred to two hundred meters. The soil is clay-limestone, and the vineyard covers eight hectares. The name Vendanges Nocturnes means "night harvest." The wine is made in a modern way, with temperature controls to preserve the fruit as much as possible.

The vinification and flavours of Vendanges Nocturnes Red

Laurent Miquel makes his Vendanges Nocturnes Classic Rouge from sixty percent Merlot grapes, which are then supplemented with fifteen percent Syrah, fifteen percent Grenache, and ten percent Carignan. The grapes are sourced from young vines. They undergo modern vinification with controlled temperatures to preserve as much of the fruit as possible. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks. Fruity aromas of raspberry and red berry are present. Smooth and elegant with a subtle hint of pepper and spice. This Laurent Miquel Vendanges Nocturnes Rouge is often served as a house wine in restaurants and bars and offers excellent value for money. Because the grapes are harvested at night, this red wine retains plenty of freshness and drinkability.
