Pépin Orange NV
Location: France, Alsace
Grapes: Gewürtztraminer, Sylvaner, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois
From the Producer: We are building a network of committed winemakers. All are certified organic, adhere to strict specifications and apply no synthetic pesticides, insecticides or weedkillers to their vines. The grapes are systematically harvested by hand to enhance quality and create a social bond - the festivities created by the harvesting season are no legend. After systematic maceration for reds and oranges, and occasional maceration for whites, the grapes are pressed. The juice is simply put into tanks, foudres or barrels. We're only here to accompany them through the long process to the bottle in your hands.
A good winemaker works in the vineyard rather than rectifying his product in the cellar. Our juices do not undergo traumatic manipulations: no filtration, centrifugation or other technology designed to modify the juice. No Pépin wine undergoes any input before or during fermentation. We don't add sulfur, industrial yeasts, tannins, ammonium sulfate, tartaric or ascorbic acid, carbon, gum arabic, potassium ferrocyanide, PVPP... The beautiful raw material we select, love and pamper doesn't need them. Only homeopathic doses of SO2 protection can be decided before bottling. We simply accompany the wine in its evolution, like a guide, with a great deal of know-how, patience and tolerance.
Rather than orchestral conductors, we are humble musicians participating in this free symphony. From these beautiful grapes and this natural vinification come living wines. Like children whom we guide in their evolution, without imposing our choices on them, they give us the best they have to offer. Their artistic side is revealed and thrills you, while at the same time imposing a few constraints on us. For example, we have no control over vinification time, which means that some wines are ready in six months and others in two years or more. Even if we know where we're going in broad terms, depending on grape varieties and terroirs, the wines follow one another but are not alike. They're all individuals, with different tastes.
