Vin de France | Orange | 2022
This wine is made from young Soreli vines, a unique Italian grape variety naturally resistant to disease, allowing for cultivation without additional treatments. Grown on clay-sand soils, the vines are organically farmed and pruned short. Vinification is carried out without sulfites, with natural fermentation in concrete tanks and gentle extraction by punching down. After a 15-day maceration, the wine is aged partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in large oak casks before being bottled in the spring, with a light addition of sulfites.

Jeff Carrel | La Boutique
Jeff Carrel's work in the Languedoc region focuses on vineyards that are sometimes neglected or challenging, revitalized through a pragmatic approach to winemaking. Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah are cultivated according to the specific plots, resulting in wines that are sometimes juicy, sometimes more structured.
The winemaking process remains intentionally simple, in order to preserve the rhythm and character of the wines. Some cuvées prioritize immediate enjoyment, while others emphasize a more assertive structure. The entire range is distinguished by a direct, accessible style, clearly expressing the Languedoc landscape.
