Our take on this vintage

With its golden-copper hue, this wine immediately reveals an elegant and intense nose, where notes of candied fruit, orange crème brûlée, and sweet spices intertwine. On the palate, the experience is just as captivating: a generous, airy texture that evolves into notes of dried apricot, candied orange, and honey. This sensation is rounded out by a lingering finish reminiscent of salted butter caramel. Ideal with aged cheeses, spicy dishes, or cured ham, this orange wine stands out for its exceptional richness and depth.

Malavieille Estate

Malavieille Estate

Languedoc | France

In the Languedoc region, Domaine de Malavieille draws on a variety of Mediterranean grape varieties grown using biodynamic methods. The vineyard is partly situated on volcanic soils, which lend the wines a noticeable structure and body, in both the reds and the whites.

The red wines combine dark fruit with supple tannins, resulting from controlled extraction. The whites tend toward more taut and spicy profiles, built on freshness and balance. The winemaking process prioritizes authenticity of expression and clarity of the juice, without seeking a showy style or excessive technical intervention.

All of the estate’s work is based on careful observation of the vines and a strong commitment to consistent viticultural practices. The wines offer a clear and structured expression of their terroir of origin, with distinct and assertive profiles.
