Henri Milan
Le Grand Blanc 2015
Aged in a combination of oak and stainless steel, this white blend is a good expression of Provencal terroir. Some ripe apples, white florals, and oak on the nose, while salty minerality drives the palate. Medium body with high acidity make a lovely food friendly wine capable of cutting through richness on the plate.

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.
