Orion Alpha 2023

Pierre Ménard

Orion Alpha from Pierre Menard comes from carefully managed parcels in the Loire. On the palate, red and black berries combine with subtle notes of dried herbs and a touch of pepper, while fine-grained tannins provide structure without heaviness. The wine is bright and focused, with lively acidity that carries the flavors through each sip. Layers of dark cherry, plum, and gentle spice emerge gradually, giving depth and complexity. The finish is precise and lingering, leaving a sense of the vineyard’s character long after the glass is empty.
