Description

Lunatic Orange 2020 is made from one of Cรฉdric Garreauโ€™s oldest plots of land with an underground dominated by schist. And believe us, Lunatic Orange is no ordinary Loire-Chenin. The grapes were pressed after 2 weeks of skin contact and left to rest on the gross lees for a year on old barriques. This creates a very aromatic and quite spicy โ€œorangeโ€ Chenin with a solid structure and a long aftertaste.

About the Producer

Cรฉdric Garreau is a young, talented natural winemaker that people have been talking about for over years now – and with good reason! Cรฉdric established Garoโ€™Vin in 2010 with only 3,5 hectares of land spread over four different vineyards planted with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grolleau Noir and Chenin Blanc in the municipalities of Beaulieu-sur-Layon and Saint-Lambert-du-Lattay. The age of the vines varies between 5 years for the youngest up to almost 100 years for the oldest with sub-soils composed of schist, clay and silt. All work in the vineyards is done by hand by means of organic and biodynamic farming practices, except a little mechanical help from his Renault 80S tractor thatโ€™s about the same age as Cรฉdric and works the soils like a charm. The Garoโ€™cellar is located just across the road from his house where he lives with his adorable family in the small village Chanzeaux.

Cรฉdricโ€™s wines are interesting because theyโ€™re rounded by the artisan tradition in Anjou, for instance in his โ€œAnjou Rougeโ€ thatโ€™s concentrated and deep with a soft touch of fruity cabernet-tannins, and all out natural and experimental at the same time. A good example of this is his โ€œLunaticโ€ that Cรฉdric in some vintages macerates for a couple of weeks before pressing, something which gives an aromatic, strong and quite spicy Chenin, or with his semi-carbonic experiments with Cabernet Sauvignon and Grolleau in his โ€œLulu Berlueโ€.<span class="Apple-converted-space">ย </span>
