The domain operates as a passionate winemaking partnership between four lifelong friends—Nicolas Grosbois, Philippe Mesnier, Baptiste, and Vivien—who unified their collective vineyard expertise to craft highly accessible, food-friendly natural wines. Sourced from certified organic and biodynamically farmed vineyards rooted in classic calcareous clay and flinty soils, the collective prioritizes deep soil biodiversity and minimal carbon emissions. Their overarching cellar methodology emphasizes low-intervention winemaking practices, trusting entirely in wild, native yeast fermentations and choosing to bottle with minimal sulfur additions to create pure, high-vibe juice meant to be shared with friends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2023 \"Tête Orange\" is a vibrant, incredibly refreshing skin-contact orange wine engineered to challenge old-school white wine standards. This unique cuvée utilizes an unconventional assemblage of white grapes, anchoring the structural focus on Chenin Blanc layered alongside aromatic Muscadelle, Mauzac Rose, and Colombard. To achieve its stunning hazy amber appearance and tactile depth, the hand-harvested grape clusters undergo a short 8 to 14-day separate maceration on the grape skins inside neutral concrete vats. This controlled skin-contact technique allows the wine to pull fine, tea-like skin tannins and complex citrus phenols into the juice while maintaining an energetic, mouthwatering backbone of natural acidity. Aged strictly in concrete tanks to isolate primary fruit clarity and bottled unfined and unfiltered, this vintage is highly scannable on the palate—bursting with bright orchard fruits, savory herbal top notes, and a bone-dry, saline finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Les Tetes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47469530742933,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/1718\/0053\/files\/LesTetesOrange2023.jpg?v=1781920410","url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/les-tetes-orange-2023-750ml-orange-wine-bottle-12-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
