2025 Domaine du Clos Roussely Sauvignon Orange, Loire

The 2025 Domaine du Clos Roussely “Sauvignon Orange” is a vibrant skin-contact orange wine from the Loire Valley, made primarily from Sauvignon Blanc and produced organically with native-yeast fermentation.

The grapes undergo extended maceration on their skins, giving the wine its striking golden-orange color, gentle phenolic grip, and added aromatic complexity.

The nose is expressive with orange peel, tangerine, apricot, passion fruit, citrus zest, dried herbs, hay, and subtle spice, while the palate is medium-bodied and juicy, balancing bright acidity with a lightly tannic texture and refreshing mineral finish. Energetic, savory, and wonderfully distinctive, it pairs especially well with spicy Asian cuisine, grilled shrimp, charcuterie, funky cheeses, pickled vegetables, and Middle Eastern dishes.
