A great example showcasing the classic characteristics of the Merlot grape - with 3 months in oak, a medium-bodied wine with soft berry fruit and tannins.
Laurent Miquel is a family-run estate based at Château Cazal Viel in Saint Chinian, originally acquired in 1791, which had previously been farmed by the monks of the nearby Abbey of Fontcaude. Their drive towards quality began in the 1970s. In 1996 Henri Laurent was joined by his son Laurent, the 8th generation winemaker.
Their wines have been highly praised by Tim Atkin and Jancis Robinson being from “the most reliable and forward looking winery in the Languedoc”.
