i. Biography
Mathilde Roux has owned Cave de L'Orlaya in Fully since 2016. She works from a clear idea of place and variety: "I hope my wines shows the terroir of Fully and the variety at its best (as I produced only single varietal wine)."
The Work Today
Since 2016, Roux has led Cave de L'Orlaya as owner. Her stated focus is single-varietal wine, with the site and the grape kept in close view. She also argues for patience in drinking: "Wine needs time and they should age them.... It's a bit frustrating to see so many wines which are consumed when they are too young."
Signature
Mathilde's signature wines include Petit Arvine.
