Pépin 'Orange 37' 2023
Auxerrois, sylvaner, muscat and gewurztraminer grape varieties... no less! An orange wine in the purest tradition, light, organic and sulphite-free as it should be. More refined than structured, easy to taste, without too much tannin :-) No filtration.
Notes of citrus, sweet spices, apple/pear, even tarte tatin. Very nice precision. Perfectly in line with the aromas of the nose, good balance between the volume of the juice and the freshness of the well-integrated tannins. A nice acidity brings freshness.
