DESCRIPTION

The 2022 Orange Tango from Gilbert Chon is a vibrant skin-contact white wine crafted in the Loire Valley. Made from Melon de Bourgogne, the grapes are fermented on their skins to extract both color and texture, resulting in a distinctive amber hue. Minimal intervention winemaking preserves the purity of the fruit while adding aromatic complexity. Fresh, structured, and expressive, this cuvée combines the energy of natural winemaking with the character of Loire terroir. Ready to drink now, it offers a lively and modern interpretation of orange wine.

EYE

This wine presents a bright amber-gold color with copper highlights, reflecting its skin-contact vinification.

NOSE

The bouquet is aromatic and layered, opening with dried citrus peel, apricot, and herbal notes, accented by subtle floral and spicy tones.

MOUTH

On the palate, it is textured and refreshing, delivering flavors of stone fruits, tea-like tannins, and zesty citrus. A clean acidity balances its grip, leading to a long and distinctive finish.

PAIRING

Orange Tango pairs beautifully with Mediterranean dishes, spiced poultry, or roasted root vegetables. Its structure also makes it a versatile partner for aged cheeses and Asian-inspired cuisine.

Loire

With 2,000 years of history featuring kings'castles and fortresses, the Loire Valley is home to 31 appelations, starting in the Muscadet to the west near the Atlantic Ocean, passing by Chinon, Vouvray and the Touraine in the middle, to end to the famous village of Sancerre, located all the way to the East. This region cultivates 24 grape varietals which offer a very diverse tasting and culinary experience. From mineral whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc or Melon de Bourgogne (aka grape use in Muscadet) to light and spicy reds, such as Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir or Gamay. It is also France's third largest wine growing region, featuring a temperate climate and diverse terroirs influenced by the Atlantic ocean and the proximity of the Loire river. Enjoy white loire wines with goat cheese or seafood, and the reds with spicy cuisine and vegeterian dishes.
