Zénith 2020 Corentin Houillon
Zénith by Corentin Houillon is a wine that perfectly embodies the personality of its producer, reflecting his energy and eccentric character. This orange wine from Savoie is produced from a maceration of two varieties of white grapes, exposed to the south, which give the wine a unique complexity and an extraordinary aromatic profile.
The grapes used for Zénith come from vineyards situated on south-facing slopes, benefiting from excellent sun exposure. This prime location allows the grapes to ripen perfectly, developing intense aromas and a high concentration of flavors. The grape varieties used, which the producer deliberately keeps secret to add a touch of mystery, are typical of the region and cultivated using biodynamic practices that respect the environment and biodiversity.
The production of Zénith follows traditional and natural methods, with a maceration of the white grapes that lasts several weeks. This maceration process gives the wine its characteristic orange color and a tannic structure that makes it unique. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, without the addition of sulfites, to preserve the terroir's integrity and the wine's authenticity.
Zénith stands out for its vibrant aromas of tropical fruit, accompanied by an herbal touch and a saline note reminiscent of Himalayan salt. On the nose, there are scents of lemon, orange zest, and anise, creating an intriguing and complex aromatic bouquet. On the palate, the wine offers freshness, tension, and great drinkability, with a finesse that envelops and stimulates the senses. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant sensation of salinity and citrus.
This orange wine is perfect for accompanying fish dishes, aged cheeses, and grilled vegetable preparations. Its versatility also makes it ideal for refined aperitifs and dinners with friends, where its uniqueness can be appreciated and discussed.
