The Vintage Black Juices

An original creation by Alain Milliat

Originally unusual and inspired by cellar masters, this idea from Alain Milliat develop an exceptional product revealing unknown aromas in the world of juice.

“Since 1997, for each species, I have been looking for the ideal variety, the region or even the most comfortable plot for it and above all I trigger the harvest at optimal maturity to sincerely transcribe all the particularities of the fruit. Aging is a somewhat absurd initiative. But it takes the aromatic profile to a new complexity and a unique tasting experience. The passage of time is a friend. “

— Alain Milliat

Alain Milliat wanted to experiment by aging a Juice and two Nectars from his collection for five to seven years: Morello Cherry Juice, Wild Blueberry Nectar and Burgundy Blackcurrant Nectar. The carefully orchestrated maturation process allowed the aromatic profiles the freedom to express their singularity, complexity and depth. These characteristics allow each of these vintages to offer a completely new taste experience compared to their unripened equivalents.

• Morello Cherry Vintage 2019

The youngest of these Vintage Juices has a limpid garnet color with coppery reflections. On the nose, it is delicate and finely spiced. There are notes of tonka bean. You will find a digestible and aromatic juice, which remains persistent and balanced on the finish.

• Wild Blueberry Vintage 2017

This Nectar with a deep garnet color and purple highlights offers an expressive nose evoking a world of citrus fruits, such as lemon. The palate is digestible and aromatic, with a slight tannic sensation that reveals itself. The final notes are tangy, reminiscent of the experience of the nose.

• Burgundy Blackcurrent Vintage 2017

Matured Burgundy Blackcurrent has a clear ruby ​​color with garnet reflections. On the nose, it is very expressive and suggests a certain generosity. We find aromas of spices such as white pepper.

This drink is salivating and focused on freshness, which offers an aromatic length.

These three editions have been developed without any addition, neither sulphites nor additives: simply the Juice or Nectar and the work of time that passes.

Vintage Black Juices come in the form of a gift box, ideal as a gift or for yourself: a true three-part experience, allowing you to discover three unique aromatic profiles.

They will go wonderfully with end-of-year meals and can easily be served at the table to enhance the festivities.

The elegance of the Kir Royal

In cocktails, Vintage Juices restore the nobility of the timeless Kir Royal.

In a champagne flute, serve 3 to 5 cl of Vintage Juice for 9 cl of Blanc de Blancs Champagne.

The liveliness of Champagne contrasts wonderfully with the gourmet dimension brought by vintage black juices.
