The Story

I come from the limestone- and flint-rich soils of the village of Angé, in the heart of the Touraine region. My maker, fourth-generation winemaker Vincent Roussely, converted his family’s estate to organic (and in many vineyards biodynamic) farming and embraced long skin-contact macerations that give me my distinctive orange hue. Here, nature leads the way: manual ploughing, native yeasts, and minimal intervention.

Why You’ll Love Me

I greet you with aromas of candied orange peel, sun-warmed apricot, and a touch of citrus pith—yes, I know the colour hints at my style. On the palate I’m lively and textured: bright acidity, white-wine-style tannins, and a minerality that evokes clay and limestone underfoot. My finish lingers with a subtle savoury curve that makes me endlessly food-friendly—invite me to the table, and I’ll bring flavour, depth, and a little twist of surprise.
