Presentation
Owned by the Chassillan family since 1933, Domaine Miramont is composed of 13 hectares, 10 of which are in AOP Vacqueyras. Michel, representative of the 3rd generation, runs the estate in Biodynamics - Demeter label ". Plant cover between the rows to improve soil structure and microbial life, respect for natural cycles... are all part of the care given to the vineyard in a permanent search for excellence.
The vintage
2023 was a year full of contrasts: warm temperatures at the end of December and beginning of January raised concerns about early budding; a return to normalcy continued until February with relatively cool weather; a persistent drought accompanied by a strong Mistral wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Thanks to constant vigilance in the vineyards, the berries were healthy and well-ripened when harvest started, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.

The vineyards of the Domaine are located on the Garrigues de Sarrians plateau, in the south of the appellation. The pebbles and limestone gravels on the surface date from the Quaternary and rest on brown clays from the Miocene and Pliocene.

Tasting
A magnificent purplish red color adorns this Vacqueyras. the nose evokes various scents of spices (white pepper, cayenne pepper) then it is around scents evoking blackberry and blackcurrant that the complexity of this wine is expressed. This aromatic richness delivers in mouth a dense and racy texture built on a grain of fine tannin and of great personality. The whole of very good behaviour evolves on very beautiful notes of minerality marked by freshness.
