Clos des Grillons
A very charming orange wine with pink reflections, the nose takes us on a journey between apricot, pear, honey, rose, orange peel, maquis, spices... Aromatic, atypical and delicious. The palate is long, without any heaviness, the maceration is perfectly integrated. Bravo Nico!

Bottled in July 2022 without fining or filtration, just a micro-dose of sulphur.
