Henri Milan
CLOS Milan Rouge 2018

Henri Milan
A family run winery in St. Rémy, Provence, Henri Milan works with his son Théophile to produce terroir driven wines using organic and biodynamic agriculture, and low intervention viniculture. Henri produced his first non-sulfur wine in 2000, and has since become a leading figure in the natural wine movement in southern France.

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.
