Maison Troupeau Orange 2023

Ever heard of Viognier? 🤓
Viognier is a grape variety that can sometimes be a bit heavy, dense, and frankly short on the palate. But not here!

Simon and his friend Lori (from the Petit Oratoire estate) achieve a masterstroke by harvesting and producing a Viognier full of apricots, flat peaches, orange blossom, and even ripe pineapple, all while maintaining an incredible freshness 🍹
The 5 days of maceration give the wine its freshly-pressed orange juice color and addictive roundness. Orange is a beautiful preview of what his "Jupiter" cuvée is like 🚀
