A flagship, highly expressive orange wine from Muscat Petit Grain, Céleste 2024 is one of the most profound and structured wines in the Les Cigales range. It opens with intense aromatics of orange blossom, ripe apricot, candied citrus, wild herbs and subtle tea-like spice, unfolding into layers of depth and nuance. A month of skin maceration brings real concentration and texture, giving the wine a deep, almost architectural feel, balanced by vibrant acidity and fine tannic grip. The palate is dense yet precise, with remarkable energy running through its core, leading to a long, saline and deeply persistent finish. Both powerful and refined, this is a serious, contemplative wine with outstanding ageing potential, built to evolve beautifully over time.

Vinification

The grapes were destemmed and fermented with indigenous yeasts, undergoing approximately one month of skin maceration in wooden tanks. Regular punch-downs were carried out to gently extract aromatic intensity, structure and phenolic depth, with no pump-overs used throughout fermentation. The wine was then aged for six months in wood, allowing for slow integration and added complexity while preserving tension and purity. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, Céleste 2024 is a deeply expressive, highly concentrated orange wine built for both immediate impact and long-term ageing potential.
