Return from Milan White 2024

Retour de Milan, White 2024

Fond Cyprès

With Retour de Milan, Fond Cyprès unveils a brilliant and unprecedented interpretation of Muscat Petit Grain, vinified as a macerated white wine. This organic orange wine from Languedoc, as elegant as it is expressive, goes off the beaten path to offer a unique, fresh, and gourmet sensory experience.

A subtle maceration

Here, whole Muscat grapes are macerated for a few days to provide texture and complexity without losing the varietal's delicacy. Fermentation is spontaneous, using native yeasts, without oenological inputs, followed by 5 months of aging in concrete egg, which promotes the wine's natural movement and gentle contact with the lees. The result: a lively, textured juice with exemplary freshness.

A luminous and aromatic orange wine

The nose is vibrant, with notes of bergamot, citrus zest, orange blossom, and fresh lychee. On the palate, the wine balances tension and sweetness, with very fine tannins and a delicately bitter finish that prolongs the pleasure. It is a digestible, refined orange wine, both floral and citrusy.

Bold pairings, immediate pleasure

Serve it between 10 and 12 °C, without decanting. This wine pairs ideally with Asian cuisines (mild spices, Thai curry, sashimi), aged cheeses (blue cheese, aged tomme), or even a lightly sweetened fruit dessert. It can age in the cellar for 5 to 10 years.
