Pépin’s gossip – Summer
Here we are, the first normal summer, all celebrating life, enjoying friends and good things.
Many of us are going back to festivals. Pépin dressed up to the nines for several events, including Sonor Nights, our friends at Miro and the D’Summerfascht!
It was a great opportunity to meet many of you and to introduce others to our vintages.
If you’d like to have Pépin à la carte for your next event, we can provide taffy machines and help you set them up.
What’s new in the vineyards?
In the vineyards, you can clearly see the development of the bunches, with the grapes gradually starting to show their nose.
After the Renaissance, the winegrowers turn to Valerian. It is known in particular for its de-stressing qualities.
It helps plants grow and heal.
Leaf thinning is carried out to expose the bunches to the sun and avoid overloading the vines to combat diseases and fungi such as mildew.
However, no weeding is carried out.
Going organic encourages plant cover, which brings freshness to the soil.
In place on terraces:
Pépin releases a new red wine, Pépin Rouge 05.
Composed of Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault and Syrah, this is a fresh, fruity red with notes of Morello cherry.

Since it’s going to flow, we might as well plan ahead. large.
That’s why cubes are making a comeback for Rouge 05.
For barbecues, there’s plenty to choose from.
Antoine also told us about his new furie red vintage, which goes well with barbecues.
In addition to a red, we’re expanding our range with our new rosé, Pépink.It’s a short-maceration Pinot Noir, which gives it its beautiful color.
For the first time, Pépin is accompanying a winemaker outside France.
And it’s in Spain that we’ve set our sights on Orange 08.
This winemaker has the same history as Achillée, and has been biodynamic for over 20 years, affiliated to a cooperative.
He chose to become independent and asked us to help him with his first cuvée.
So it’s with a 100% white Grenache that Pépin Orange is back in cafés, restaurants and wineries.
