{"title":"Domaine des Miquettes","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine des Miquettes, founded by Paul Estève and Chrystelle Vareille in 2003, is a biodynamic and natural wine estate in the Ardèche region of the Rhône Valley, France. The Domaine spans around six hectares of vineyards, primarily planted with Syrah and Viognier. Their vineyards are classified under the Vin de Pays des Coteaux de L'Ardèche and Saint-Joseph appellations, with a strong focus on organic farming. All vineyard work is done by hand, and some plots are plowed using horses, reflecting their commitment to traditional, eco-friendly viticulture​.\n\nThe estate's winemaking philosophy is centered around minimal intervention. After a life-changing trip to Georgia, the birthplace of winemaking, Paul and Chrystelle adopted amphorae for fermenting and aging their wines. This method, rooted in ancient Georgian traditions, has become a hallmark of their winemaking process. Wines like their Madloba, named after the Georgian word for \"thank you,\" spend six months on the skins and an additional six months aging in buried amphorae, resulting in unique, earthy, and mineral-driven wines​\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"domaine-des-miquettes-saint-joseph-madloba-syrah","title":"Domaine des Miquettes Saint Joseph Madloba Syrah 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine des Miquettes Madloba is a bold natural wine from the Saint-Joseph appellation in the northern Rhône Valley.
