Tournons tous notre regard dans la même direction, 2022
The very end of four different 4-5 days vertical pressings, starting with Chardonnay, then Viognier and finally the Sauvignon Blanc and Grenache Blanc. Every variety represents an equal amount of this wine. In 2022 we experienced an extreme heat during the summer and therefore grapes with a very expressive aromatic profile, and sadly also with a lack of acidity. It’s with that in mind, we in 2022 did a lot of long slow direct pressings and on most of the wines a long élevage, both things something that bring back acidity to the wines.
Due to the heat we also experienced during harvest, the end part of the pressings started to ferment a little bit in the pressoir and also slightly macerate. For that reason, we separated the last days’ juice from the juice of the first days, we did this with all the white pressings. This juice, the end pressing juice or “fin press”, we blended into one wine. We had the fermentation start properly and once it happened, we filled it into old barrels. Here we aged the wine for two and a half year, before bottling and another élevage in bottles for more than one and a half year. So, technical a white wine, due to no or very little maceration – but you could argue it’s an orange wine – if we categorize by its color and flavor profile. The wine has this bitter tannic structure, known in a macerated or “orange” style wine. But it’s very light and delicate and are expressed more the salty notes and preserved fruity notes than notes of maceration and tannins.
