Xavier Vignon - Vin Orange

Xavier Vignon's Vin Orange is a distinctive orange wine crafted from Viognier and Vermentino grapes, produced under the Vin De France appellation. This natural winemaking approach showcases the producer's commitment to expressive, terroir-driven expressions that challenge conventional wine categories. The extended skin contact characteristic of orange wine production imparts complexity and a silky texture while preserving the vibrant green and stone fruit character of these southern French varieties.

At 12.5% ABV, this wine strikes an elegant balance, approachable yet sophisticated. The Vin De France designation reflects Xavier Vignon's freedom to blend and experiment beyond strict regional boundaries, a hallmark of innovative French winemaking. The resulting profile reveals notes of brioche and subtle toast alongside fresh fruit, making it remarkably versatile at the table.

Pair this orange wine with shellfish and lobster, grilled vegetables, lamb, and cheese boards featuring goat cheese or hard varieties. Its aromatic complexity also complements pasta dishes and fresh herb-forward preparations, making it an inspired choice for fine dining, private villa entertaining, or yacht provisioning where distinctive, conversation-starting wines are valued.
