AboutLaurent Miquel
Wine has occupied the Miquel family in Languedoc since 1791, and Laurent represents its eighth generation. Trained as an engineer, he returned to the family estate with his Irish wife, Neasa. The family planted Viognier in 1992.
North-to-south vine rows temper the midday sun, while night harvesting brings fruit to the cellar cool and helps preserve freshness. The vineyards hold France’s HVE environmental certification, and work at Château Auzines protects wild habitat and captures winter rainfall for the dry months.
Laurent Miquel 2024 Vendanges Nocturnes Classic Blanc
French White
Lemon and lime lead, followed by crisp pear, apple and a subtle touch of apricot. The palate is light and steely, with clean acidity keeping the fruit bright and focused. A creamy texture and faint banana note add softness without dulling the freshness. The finish is long and tidy, carrying citrus, orchard fruit and a gentle floral lift.
Laurent Miquel 2021 Alaina Albariño
French White
Lemon and lime lead, with guava and crisp green fruit adding an aromatic lift. The palate is dry, bright and energetic, carrying citrus-rind freshness through clean acidity and a focused finish. Its lively profile works especially well with roast chicken, grilled vegetables, shellfish, fresh cheeses or herb-led salads.
Laurent Miquel 2023 Vendanges Nocturnes Red
French Red
Ripe cherry and raspberry lead, with plum, orange zest and a light touch of spice adding depth. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth, balancing juicy red fruit with fresh acidity and gentle tannins. Supple and easy to enjoy, it finishes cleanly with a quiet savoury edge, suiting charcuterie, grilled vegetables, roast poultry or weeknight pasta.
