Michel Michel orange natural wine is a vibrant expression with an amber glow born from three weeks of skin maceration. Fermented in stainless steel and in used barrels, it is aged on lees to build depth and complexity while preserving a fresh, transparent character. The wine bears no added sulfur, offering a pure, unfiltered glimpse of the grapes and the vintage.
On the nose, the bouquet is inviting and multifaceted, hinting at caramelized and braised mandarin, enriched by grapefruit peel and a touch of tangy juniper berry. Subtle herbal notes weave through the aroma, adding depth without overpowering the fruit. The palate mirrors this balance: bright and energetic citrus fruit meets savory undercurrents, with the skin contact lending a textural richness that enhances the wine’s natural acidity.
The finish is long and mineral, delivering a savory mineral edge that lingers pleasantly. With seven months of aging in a concrete tank, plus three weeks of skin contact, the wine achieves a structured yet approachable palate, combining freshness, complexity, and an expressive, natural profile. This orange natural wine is a vivid, well-structured option for those seeking a wine that speaks clearly of its terroir, grape variety, and minimal intervention.
