Vin de France Orange Mécanique Olivier Pezenneau
Description
Orange
Through my work, I’ve had the opportunity to taste many wines, and little by little, the idea took shape to create my own cuvée of orange wine.
After a trial at the estate in 2021, using a white Beaujolais vinified in a 700-litre terracotta jar, I felt the need in 2024 to produce a new cuvée in vats, named ‘Orange Mécanique’.
