Best orange wine, its origins and discovery

Although orange wines have recently come back into fashion, the choice is still limited and we are still far from the range available for red wines, white wines or rosé wines. That said, certain cuvées stand out and brilliantly highlight the natural qualities of a macerated white wine, while offering a character specific to its terroir. So, how do you choose to find the best French orange wine?

The Languedoc-Roussillon, the Jura and Alsace are among the regions that boast excellent wine estates producing a good quality orange wine.

For the Languedoc-Roussillon region, we particularly highlight the Orange Gold cuvée from Gérard Bertrand estates, a delicate orange wine with a golden colour showcasing the terroir of the south of France. Pleasant and easy to drink, Orange Gold offers a new orange wine profile, with a predominant freshness. Discover the Gérard Bertrand Orange Gold organic wine or discover all our orange wines.

In Alsace, certain vineyards produce excellent orange wines made from 100% Gewurztraminer grapes, such as the Qvevri cuvée from Domaine Bannwarth, produced using ancestral winemaking techniques.

We will finish with the Jura, a terroir producing quality orange wines (not to be confused with the yellow wine of the Jura, a wine specially produced in the Doubs region); one example is Domaine Tissot, which produces an organic and biodynamic orange wine.
