Collection: Millemann

Pierre Millemann is an internationally known enologist that consults for a wide variety of wine producers in many different countries including several prominent domaines in Burgundy. Given his intimate knowledge of these domaines, and beginning with the 2017 vintage, he decided to make wines under his own label using fruit from biodynamically farmed vines. The idea is to do as little as possible though that doesn't necessarily mean producing so-called natural wines. Production quantities are very low and he works only with grand cru fruit, both red and white. For example, there are two barrels made of the Corton-Charlemagne and one barrel each of the reds. The latter were vinified with relatively high proportions of whole clusters. The wines see 18 months of élevage and the 2019s, reviewed below, were bottled in May 2021. The 2020 and 2019 wines from Corton-Charlemagne will be reviewed in Issue 87.
