Henri Milan
Brut Nature Rosé 2019
A dignified bottle of sparkling rosé from Provence that screams summer. Dry and fruity with bright acid on the palate— with some jammy notes of strawberries, dark citrus and a hint of sourdough starter. This wine has a nice tight structure, with a surprising amount of backbone and a longer-than-you-think finish. Hot girl summer in a bottle.

Behind the Bottle
Henri took over his family’s 15 hectare estate in 1986, and began working organically in 1988. With the help of microbiologist Claude Bourgignon, they created a map to focus on grape varietals best suited to their individual soil types. However, these varieties were not permitted under the Baux De Provence AOC, so he broke off in 2007 for freedom of his craft, reclassifying his wines as Vin de France, which cemented himself as his region’s rebel.
