Théophile Milan has slowly been taking over this celebrated estate from his well-admired papa Henri – pioneer of sulphite-free wine in Provence and friend of Claude Courtois. The meeting of these two men 20 years ago would change Henri’s vision of wine. Domaine Milan is today a magnificent estate situated in the Alpilles mountains in the commune of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Henri was quick to understand that wine isn’t just about technique, but about helping the vine to express itself, and that no machine, process or additive was indispensable to achieve that. The estate boasts multiple cuvées, with little or no sulphur, all from beautiful parcels of vines, grown where the Alpilles mountains turn to soils of blue marl... Drink Milan and die happy.
A complete success for this thirst-quenching cuvée de soif. Beautiful freshness considering the balmy vintage, and a level of finesse that’s never been matched since for this Vallon cuvée.
A powerful nose of red fruits and cocoa, with notes of garrigue and spice. The palate has lovely balance, combining power and finesse, and beautiful length. A very promising Clos which is only just beginning to open up.
A nose with notes of flowers, fruit and stone. A fragile wine, often in flux, but which boasts exquisite delicacy.
A cuvée concocted by S(ébastien) X(avier). A rich, profound wine, with notes of black fruit, coffee and cacao... Palate: as always, there is considerable freshness – the calling card of the estate. A bottle that’s terribly easy to drink, and too quickly finished. A delight!

A bouquet of flowers, jasmine... A rich, fruity wine with a saline finish.
Less strawberry purée in style compared to previous vintages, this wine has greater structure, spice... Palate: not as light in style, this has a serious structure.
A nose with notes of peaches, apricots and stones. A juice at once delicate and fruity, with a saline finish.
Kumo means “cloud” in Japanese. A perfect name for this lightly coloured, lightly textured wine, a delicate, airy, silken juice with a nose of red berries. This smooth, balanced wine is a rare, limited edition cuvée that will undoubtedly only be produced in the 2018 vintage.
The first vintage for this cuvée, vinified especially for the birth of Théophile and Natalie’s son. The nose is very fruity, with hints of undergrowth. Palate: tannins, substance, and lovely structure. To be decanted if enjoyed in its youth. Great ageing potential.
