Laurent Miquel, the winemaker and man behind the label, comes from a long family history of wine making. Laurent is a native of Languedoc and his ancestors have been involved in wine making for over five generations. Initially Laurent pursued a career in engineering but later decided to root to his roots and went back to school to study Enology. This education combined with the help of his father’s experiences and wisdom, helped Laurent to create his vintage in 1996. "Historically, the wine flows in my veins," said Laurent Miquel."
Laurent Miquel is installed at the Château Cazal Viel, owned by the Miquel family since 1791. Located at the foot of the mountains Caroux, the vineyards can "develop subtle and varied wines." The climate calls for hot and dry summers which are often followed by a mild fall, thus giving rise to "beautifully aromatic wines, which are beautifully sung to their fabulous terroir."
Firefly Fine Wines and Ales in Maple Ridge will be having a complimentary tasting of Laurent Miquel wines on Thursday, March 4th from 3pm -7pm.
