Lestignac Orange “Michel-Michel” VdF 2024 750ml

“Michel-Michel” comes from the village of Sigoulès. The parcel is next to Lestignac’s vineyards. It’s a single vineyard of 3 ha co-planted with fruit trees and located next to a forest. The biodiversity is very intense. Caramelized and braised mandarin notes explode on the nose and tongue. Grapefruit peel, juniper berry’s tartness, and herbs round out the flavor profile. The lingering taste of minerals is quite satisfying.

Varietal

Semillon

Semillon was, at one point not so long ago, widely believed to be one of the most grown grape varietals in the world. Whilst today the numbers of Semillon grapes has dropped considerably, it remains a widely planted grape with vineyards all over Europe and the New World dedicated to making the most of this special and flavorful varietal. The grapes are recognizable by their golden color, and the fact that they can take on a pinkish hue in particularly warm climates. The wines the Semillon grape produces are notably varied, and are often very crisp and dry, or sweet and soft, full of a wide range of flavors Commonly, dry Semillon wines are particularly citrus in flavor, with a delicate and summery bouquet. The vine is hardy and vigorous, and notable for being easy to grow and produce high yields from.
