About

Cuvée Les Miaux is made from Syrah grapes grown in clay, limestone and pebble soil. The entire harvest is destemmed and then vatted for a year. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 14 to 16 months. A great wine to accompany your hunting dishes!

Your questions, our answers.

Which wine should I choose to pair with a game dish?

This Hermitage Les Miaux 2012 is a good option: the shop specifically recommends it with game dishes. This is the best-supported pairing for this wine based on the information provided.

Is this wine suitable if I’m looking for a red wine that hasn’t been aged in oak?

No, Les Miaux is aged in oak barrels for 14 to 16 months. However, no tasting note specifies how pronounced the oak influence is, so the ageing alone is not enough to conclude that the wine has a dominant oaky taste.

Does the 91-point Parker score tell me whether I’ll like this wine?

It provides an indication of critical acclaim, but doesn’t describe the wine’s profile. Without an accompanying tasting note, it doesn’t tell you about its aromas, texture, or development.

Is this a good choice for discovering a Syrah vinified using whole clusters?

No: the grapes for this wine are fully destemmed. So, for a tasting focused on whole-cluster wines, you’ll need to choose another bottle for which this practice is explicitly indicated.

Can I prefer this 2012 to Chave’s 2014 or Guigal’s 2020 Hermitage based on the vintage alone?

The available information doesn’t allow us to compare their ripeness or style. For Les Miaux 2012, the concrete points of reference are the Syrah, the barrel ageing, and the recommendation to pair it with game dishes; the vintage alone isn’t enough to choose between these bottles.
