Le Vallon Domaine Milan Magnum, natural wine, Grenache based, elegant, full but very fresh, stunning crowd pleaser of a red for those who like Chateauneuf and Burgundy. Not too many of these Magnums available and they are showing beautifully so we recommend snapping them up! Le Vallon is pure Provence, aromas of Herbes de Provence and garrigue mingle with soft ripe fruit and a mineral edge. Henri Milan makes delicious wines that need a little time in bottle to start to fully express themselves. Le Vallon is a blend of a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Cinsault. Yields are low at 45 hl/h. The grapes are harvested and put in vats without being de-stemmed for a short maceration. The fermentation takes place without any added yeasts, only the ones which are present on the grape skins. Also, the different grape varieties are blended together at the beginning and not at the end with fermented and aged juices like others winemakers would do. It is now drinking very well and has great balance and minerality to match the structure of the wine and flavour profile. Delicious wine for grilled meat and hearty earthy cheeses. This is a wine which in the magnum will quite literally just keep on going, it tastes much younger and fresher from Magnum and is perfect for a group of friends and some pork chops! Is Vegan?
