Perhaps Domaine Milan's most iconic cuvée, Le Grand Blanc is a wine which can age for up to 20 years. The domaine does the first part of this aging. This 2019 vintage spent 12 months in old oak barrels and then a further 5 years in a concrete tank. It was bottled in May 2025. It is a blend of Chardonnay, Muscat à Petit Grains, Grenache Blanc, Rolle, and Roussanne, all of which are direct-pressed and co-fermented. The vines are approximately 35 years old and grow in silty clay on a subsoil of blue marl.
The Milans tasting notes describe it beautifully "Exceptionally fresh. Aromas of fennel and garrigue dominate the nose and palate, with a long, stony finish that underscores its minerality." But we also love longtime cellar master Sébastien Xavier's description when we tasted it with him last year. He simply said "it gives me goosebumps". He's helped make this wine for 20 years and this is definitely one of the best.
