L'un des rares Assyrtiko planté en France. Olivier Pascal est tombé amoureux de ce cépage en dégustant des blancs de Crête.

Au départ, il n'avait pas prévu de faire de vin de macération, mais les raisins ne voulaient pas libérer leur jus au pressoir (quelques litres pour 500 kg). Il a donc fait fermenter les baies pressurées avec leur peu de jus durant une quinzaine de jours.

Puis le vin enfin extrait a été vinifié dans une barrique de 500 litres usagées.

Dégustation : La robe est d’un or intense aux reflets cuivrés. Le nez est plutôt sobre, sur l’orange confite et des notes minérales / salines. Dès l’attaque en bouche, une tension vous saisit pour ne plus vous lâcher, avant que le vin gagne en ampleur et en intensité, avec une matière dense mais d’une belle douceur tactile. Mais c’est la fraîcheur et l’équilibre qui frappent le plus, atteignant une perfection assez rare dans les vins oranges. La finale prolonge la tension de la bouche en la soulignant d’une amertume exaltante, et prend surtout une ampleur inattendue, sur l’orange, l’abricot sec et des notes subtilement résineuses. C’est long, très long. Et surtout hyper bon.

What is an author wine?

These can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.

An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.

This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.

As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
