A brilliant golden colour. The nose is elegantly tinged with white flowers and almonds. The flavours of candied citrus and roasted hazelnuts highlight the elegant freshness. The harmonious, long finish is supported by delicate minerality. It goes well with scallops, Bresse chicken, 24-month aged Comté and blueberry tart. Located in a valley, the vineyards face southeast and southwest, bathed in the morning sun and the evening sun. Marl and soft limestone are mixed. The oldest vines are 40 years old. 3.05ha, 3 parcels. Domaine Mia is one of the largest estates in the Côte Chalonnaise, with a history dating back to 1860. The Ecocert (organic farming) certified vineyards produce wines with amazing potential and a full sense of the greatness of southern Burgundy.
"Winemaking is an art that combines many talents," says Mia Subotic, the owner of the Domaine. As she says, Domaine Mia's wines are a perfect fusion of Mia's vision, winemaking director Alain Charles' grape cultivation, and the precision work of talented members. The key to this is David Duban, a winemaking expert who oversees the winemaking department with his outstanding skills.
David Duban is considered one of the best winemakers in Burgundy today. Thanks to his expertise, Domaine Mia's wines have evolved dramatically, making it one of the most notable domaines in the region. He values terroir, tradition and respect for the environment above all else, but he also does not hesitate to experiment. First, he returned to the old common "whole bunch fermentation" method to create light and harmonious wines like silk and air. Second, he added very little sulfite to the wine to express the original aromas of the fruit. These were successful thanks to the exceptional quality of the harvested grapes. This is the result of respecting nature according to the principles of organic cultivation and caring for the vines throughout the year in a biodynamic way. The wines produced in this way are vinified in the company's underground cellars in Nuits-Saint-Georges and aged in carefully selected French oak barrels. David Duban talks about the winemaking process at Domaine Mia.
"For me, brewing in a terroir other than the Côte de Nuits was a real challenge, and applying my winemaking methods to a different appellation was a huge motivation. I did the pigeage by foot to gentle the extraction, so the finished product was just as I imagined, with the original complexity, finesse and minerality of the harvested grapes. Finally, I promise on the name of Domaine Mia that I will continue to brew wines of excellent quality, with respect for the vines."
