La robe de cet Orion Alpha est d'un pourpre sombre translucide attire le regard. Le nez révèle des caractéristiques très typiques du Cabernet Sauvignon, avec des nuances de poivron rouge grillé, de cassis frais et des notes sanguines ou ferreuses. En bouche, l'expérience est ronde, généreuse, presque aérienne, avec une texture d'une grande finesse et une fraîcheur qui se diffuse harmonieusement, offrant un équilibre parfait. La finale apporte une fraîcheur accrue et une pureté de fruit remarquable, mettant en avant un cassis élégant et des nuances persistantes de fer et de sang, complétées par des touches de poivre noir. Orion signifie Été.

Terroir : deux parcelles assez différentes, entrent à parts égales dans l’assemblage : la première est une parcelle assez jeune de 10 ans sur des argiles à quartz (sur schiste en profondeur). La deuxième parcelle est une très vieille vigne de 70 ans au moins, située dans le Clos des Mailles (un peu plus bas dans la pente par rapport aux chenins du même coteau et bénéficiant d’une couche d’argile au dessus des schistes).

Vinification et élevage : vendange et égrappage manuels, macération d’environ 3 semaines en infusion des raisins, avec peu de mouvements d’extraction. Pressurage et entonnage en barriques d’1 à 5 vins. Un soutirage au printemps après fermentation malo-lactique.

Accords mets/vin : andouille, lapin, faux-filet de boeuf.

The Estate Antoine-Marie Arena

What the RVF says in its 2018 Guide: "Antoine-Marie Arena produced his first wines in 2014. Antoine Arena's youngest son has been working and making wine at the family estate for years. He now signs his own cuvées, taking charge of Hauts de Carco in white and Carco in red, and made his entry in the 2017 edition. The reading of the wines and the sensitivity of the new blended wines confirm the talent of this young winemaker. The coherence and depth of his wines are beyond doubt: we award him a well-deserved second star. The wines: they give a lot of emotion, show both precision and accuracy. Hauts de Carco has great purity, a powerful yet firm mouthfeel. Bianco Gentile is a model, with the maturity of this grape variety, without its drawbacks: full-bodied, it is well managed by bitters that reframe it. Bianchi, a blend of vermentino, biancu gentile and muscat, is subtle. It exhales notes of rose and cumin, and delights us with its harmonious mouthfeel, its quality length; for a lemon chicken. Carco, not very extracted and infused, is distinguished by its right substance and finesse. Memoria is chubbier and fuller, but retains the precision of the fruit and the quality of the tannins. Finally, San Giovanni, still very young, offers spicy nuances and a quality substance. It seduces by its dimension"

The Estate Pierre Ménard

A very talented winemaker to discover first... We are very happy to be able to introduce you once again to the talented Pierre Ménard, who has been pursuing his career since 2013 and who this year is offering us a new wine, La Varenne de Chanzé, a Chenin from a schist plot, a tasty and taut wine with candied citrus fruits and lemon tart, magnificent... A wine that completes the existing range composed of Laïka, a dazzling Sauvignon on schist, the subtle chenin Cosmos as a sweet wine and three other dry chenins; Le Quart des Noëls on a parcel of vines almost a century old, Le Clos des Mailles on a privileged terroir rich in quartz and phtanite, and Pluton an intra-parcel cuvée even richer in phtanite that Pierre Ménard decides to isolate when the vintage lends itself to it. A faultless wine to be discovered urgently...
