Description

Yves-Jean Millaire is the third generation of winemakers. The story begins in 1950 when his grandfather, Jean Garnier, bought 6 hectares of vines in Fronsac, on the outskirts of Saint-Émilion. In 1979, the estate was leased for 18 years. Jean-Yves took over the family estate in 1998. In 2006, the vineyard was certified organic, and he decided to take it a step further. In 2009, the estate was certified biodynamic.

To learn more

The Merlot is planted on an area of 6 hectares on predominantly clay soils. The harvest is mechanical.

Once pressed, the must will undergo alcoholic fermentation thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts. It will then be aged in tanks on its fine lees, which will give it richness and roundness.

Bordeaux

Symbole mondial du vin, Bordeaux s'étend autour de la Garonne et de la Dordogne, formant un terroir exceptionnel façonné par l'océan Atlantique et des sols variés de graves, d'argile et de calcaire. Ce vaste vignoble, à la fois historique et innovant, est reconnu pour la richesse de ses assemblages et la longévité de ses vins.

Le Cabernet Sauvignon, le Merlot et le Cabernet Franc dominent les rouges, offrant puissance, élégance et équilibre selon les terroirs du Médoc, de Saint-Émilion, de Pomerol ou des Graves. Les blancs, issus du Sauvignon Blanc et du Sémillon, se déclinent en styles secs et aromatiques ou en liquoreux prestigieux, comme ceux de Sauternes.

What is a natural wine?

What is a natural wine?

A natural wine is made from organic or biodynamic grapes, harvested by hand and vinified without chemical inputs. No yeast or additives are used, and sulfur is very limited. The wine thus fully reflects the terroir and the winemaker's work.
