Description
What kind of wine is it
The Bourgogne Barbara by Patrick Miolane is a still red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes, expressing the authentic character of Burgundy. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby red hue with bright highlights. The aromatic profile opens with notes of black cherry and blackcurrant, leading to a rounded and persistent palate. The softened tannins provide excellent balance to the sip, making this wine ideal to accompany veal, beef, poultry, and boards of mature cheeses.
Where does it come from
This wine originates in the commune of Saint-Aubin, located in the heart of the Côte-d’Or in France. Its birthplace falls within the prestigious Bourgogne Rouge appellation, an area renowned for its vocation in producing elegant and precise reds. The soils of this specific area give the grapes enviable balance, favouring a measured structure and a smooth tannic texture. The dedication of the Patrick Miolane winery allows for the development of clear red berry fruit aromas, maintaining a persistent finish that highlights the deep connection with the land.
How is it produced
The vinification process begins with a slow fermentation lasting about fifteen days, carried out exclusively with indigenous yeasts. The wine then matures in barrels for two years, a crucial step to refine the structural components and ensure a rounded and harmonious sip. Bottling takes place without filtration, preserving the original intensity of the aromatic matter. This rigorous process creates the optimal conditions for the sensory profile to evolve at its best, making it advisable to allow some decanting time to fully reveal its complexity.

Operations are run by Patrick, a larger-than-life character who loves a good joke, and his dynamic, forward-looking daughter, Barbara. They make a perfect pair, each responsible for their own sphere of activity: Dad looks after the vineyard; Barbara is in charge of the wine-making and marketing.
The estate produces fourteen Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet appellations, including premier cru, villages and regional wines. The whites very much reflect the local growing conditions (the terroir), in particular the mineral quality of the soil. Where reds are concerned, the estate boasts a number of pinot noir wines which are aged for a long time and allowed to mature slowly. They are rich in red-berry-fruit flavours, with finely structured tannins.
