Our Review of the Cuvée
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.

Domaine de Malavieille
Languedoc | France
In Languedoc, Domaine de Malavieille cultivates a diverse range of Mediterranean grape varieties using biodynamic practices. The vineyard's terroir partly consists of volcanic soils, which impart a discernible structure and persistence to the wines, evident in both reds and whites.
The red wines combine dark fruit characteristics with supple tannins, resulting from measured extractions. The white wines lean towards more taut and spicy profiles, built on freshness and balance. Vinification processes prioritize directness of expression and clarity of the juices, without pursuing a demonstrative style or technical over-elaboration.
The entirety of the estate's work is based on meticulous observation of the vines and a steadfast cultural consistency. The cuvées offer a clear and structured interpretation of their originating terroir, presenting straightforward and assertive profiles.
