DOMAINE HUGHES-BÉGUET ORANGE WAS THE COLOUR OF HER DRESS 2021
Mesnay / Jura // France

Savagnin from Patrice's own domaine that sees 6 months of skin contact in big barrels. 

The maceration here is more akin to an infusion which leaves the wine with an ethereal cloudy white appearance, instead of the more common amber or 'orange' hue that many skin contact wines have. 

An enchanting and mysterious nose with floral and melon aromas and a palate of white apricots and morning dew.

 
About the Producer

Leaving the bright lights of Paris in 2009, Patrice Béguet and Caroline Hughes returned home to the little village of Mesnay in Jura to pursue his dream of making experimental, natural wine.

With just about 4ha in both Pupillin, Arbois and Mesnay, Patrice is committed to all aspects of ecology including organic and biodynamic methods. His wines are Demeter certified which is unusual for such a small producer. So committed is Patrice to this lifestyle that he meticulously sources biodynamic straw for his Vin de Paille (straw wine) and keeps an ancient breed of Alpine sheep to graze on the indigenous grasses between vines in the winter.

In the cave, Patrice is a keen experimentalist and makes use of extended macerations and a mixture of stainless steel tanks, egg-shaped barrels and old oak barrels.

Drawing inspiration from his love of jazz and the diverse scenery of Jura; his range of wines are electric, profoundly textural and complex.
