WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Miolanne Volcane Rouge is a captivating red blend that celebrates the dramatic terroir of the Auvergne region. Crafted by the passionate team at Domaine Miolanne, this wine is a unique expression of its volcanic origins, with equal parts Pinot Noir and Gamay grown at 450 meters on the mineral-rich plateau formed by the Massif du Sancy eruption. The vineyard's volcanic ash and pumice soils, along with high-altitude conditions and significant temperature swings, give Volcane Rouge an energetic, complex character. Carefully vinified to capture the essence of this rare terroir, it’s a red that brings a taste of Auvergne’s wild landscape to each glass.
