Philippe Milan Bourgogne Rouge Cote Chalonnaise is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
Light color - translucent - but loads of flavors. Long finish, quite exceptionnal for a Bourgogne Rouge. Very aromatic, with perfume aromas and cherry flavors.
Philippe Milan Bourgogne Blanc is made from 100% Chardonnay
The wine is produced from vines planted in the commune of Chassey le Camp at high elevation, which brings freshness to this Chardonnay. Ripe fruit is nicely balanced with delicate notes of oak and a hint of citrus on the finish. Full flavored and complex.

The Mercurey "Les Vaux" from Domaine Philippe Milan is a red wine from the renowned Côte Chalonnaise appellation in Burgundy.
The Côte Chalonnaise, located between the Côte de Beaune and the Mâconnais, benefits from a continental climate punctuated by significant temperature variations, ideal for the ripening of Pinot Noir. The clay-limestone soils characteristic of this region impart structure, minerality, and elegance to the wine. Mercurey is one of the most renowned appellations of the Côte Chalonnaise, boasting a long winemaking history that has contributed to the fame of elegant Burgundy red wines.
The vintage is balanced and marked by a lovely freshness thanks to relatively mild weather, resulting in supple tannins and vibrant fruit.
Philippe Milan Pommard AOC is 100% Pinot Noir
This wine has been aged in Oak (25% new Oak)
This is a little more structured and the style goes more toward the
"vin de garde", or wines meant to age. This wine needs some food, or sometime
in the decanter right now. It is well structured and reminds me of a Volnay. As
a matter of fact, the parcel is located right next to Volnay. The finish is
long and still quite juicy with chewy tannins lingering.

Chavy-Chouet Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseigneres is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Les Enseigneres is a coveted village lieu-dit in Puligny-Montrachet, sited right against the great slope near Batard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet, a village-level parcel that consistently reaches toward Premier Cru quality. Domaine Chavy-Chouet of Meursault works old vines here, some sixty-five years of age, on clay and limestone.
Fermented with native yeasts and aged a year in French oak with a fifth new, it is a Puligny to seek out: white peach and citrus over a core of wet-stone minerality, with the tension, depth and long finish that mark the finest whites of the village.
