AOP Languedoc Cabrières
This exceptional rosé was born on this particular terroir where the schists rest on limestones bringing both power and minerality to this wine. The harvest is done entirely by hand in 10 kg crates which will spend a night in a cold room to be pressed the next day and thus preserve the aromatic purity of the grapes. This latest vintage, despite its youth, reveals a remarkable complexity and will be a reference for the coming decades. It is characterized by notes of red fruits where notes of blackcurrant, exotic fruits, pineapple are also mixed but also by a sensational minerality and freshness. The length and the aromatic of the nose continue in the mouth with a silky, complete wine, bouncing on the palate.
A perfect balance, ample, of great length, carried by a beautiful freshness. The cellar being located in the heart of the vineyard, the transport time is minimal. The best free-flowing juices are then selected. Cold pressing (5°C) preserves the aromas and freshness and prevents the juice from coloring, by blocking the natural pigments (anthocyanins). Before fermentation at low temperature, a 24-hour settling at a controlled temperature between 8 and 10°C is carried out without the addition of sulfur. The aging is done in new French oak barrels (oak from the Tronçais and Jupilles forests), for 6 to 8 months on fine lees with stirring. The wines are assembled on a fruit day, according to the biodynamic astral calendar, favorable to tasting

14% alcohol. Villa Soleilla is probably the world’s most expensive orange wine. It’s made from vineyards close to the Bertrand base at Château L’Hospitalet. ‘The idea is to create the most iconic orange wine,’ says Gérard. It’s aged three ways: one-thirds in amphora, one-third in glass (wine globes), and one-third in oak. Gerard says he’s celebrating the work of the Georgians: ‘This is where wine started.’ The white grapes are fermented on skins for three to four weeks. ‘The idea is to move from strong bitterness to light bitterness,’ he says, regarding the maceration. This is a powerful, intriguing wine with a wide array of flavours, but a sense of refinement and harmony. I’m getting mandarin, honeysuckle, hazelnut, marzipan and marmalade flavours, with bright citrussy fringing and hints of vanilla and apricot, all tingling and alive with purity and brightness as well as depth. For an orange wine, it’s nicely polished with a lovely finish that’s nicely bitter (orange peel) with some aniseed notes. You have to admire the ambition and execution behind this wine.
