Winemakers of the week

Laure Cartier et Jean-Baptiste Deroche - Loire - Domaine Miolanne

Located at the foot of the Massif du Sancy, Domaine Miolanne was created in 1990 by Odette and Gilles Miolanne. In 2012, Laure Cartier (a daughter of a winemaker and a sustainable development advisor) and Jean-Baptiste Deroche (oenologist) joined forces to take over the domaine and start an exciting journey in the Puy-de-Dôme. The vineyard now spans 11 hectares of vines spread across 3 different terroirs. Two volcanic soils: one consisting of pumice and volcanic ash from the eruption of the Massif du Sancy, the other basaltic, from the Chaîne des Puys, and an argilo-calcareous soil. The domaine grows 6 different grape varieties, from the more classic varieties of the Côtes d’Auvergne appellation: Pinot Noir, Gamay, Chardonnay, to others that are somewhat more atypical for the region: Syrah, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris. The different cuvées are made under the AOC Côtes d'Auvergne and IGP Puy-de-Dôme appellations. Since taking over, the two winemakers have chosen to work their vines with respect for organic farming and obtained organic certification in 2016. The vines are cultivated without chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or synthetic pesticides. Their next goal is to move toward biodynamics.
