Description of wine 🍷
Orion est une constellation dont le nom pourrait venir d'une langue ancienne: Uru-Anna "la lumière des cieux". Comme toutes les constellations, Orion est composée d’étoiles nommées par des lettres grecques. L’étoile alpha d’Orion (Alpha Orionis), est l’épaule gauche du chasseur que dessine la constellation. Elle est également appelée Bételgeuse, c’est une géante rouge. Pour ce vin, deux parcelles de Cabernet franc à parts égales : une de 10 ans sur argile à quartz et fond de schiste, l’autre de 70 ans située sous les chenins dans le Clos des Mailles, là où il y a plus de terre sur le schiste pour atténuer les variations d’alimentation hydriques en été, phénomène auquel le Cabernet est sensible et perturbe sa maturation.
Vendange et égrappage manuels, macération de 21 jours en infusion des raisins, avec peu de mouvements d’extraction. Pressurage et entonnage en barriques de 0 à 6 vins.
Dégustation : La robe est pourpre sombre translucide. Le nez est très Cab' sur le poivron rouge grillé, le cassis frais et des notes sanguines / ferreuses. La bouche est ronde, ample, aérienne, déployant une matière d'une grande finesse à la fraîcheur communicative, et s'écoulant dans le palais avec une rare évidence : l'équilibre est PAR-FAIT. La finale gagne encore en fraîcheur et en pureté de fruit, sur un cassis élégant et un retour des notes ferreuses /sanguines, complétées par le poivre noir.

What is an author wine?
This 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.
