Sancerre Blanc Auksinis Macération AOC 2018 - Domaine Sébastien Riffault

About the wine

Sébastien was just 21 years old when he left his job in a Parisian wine shop in 2002 to prevent the sale of his parents' winery in Sury-en-Vasux. As early as 2003, the switch to biodynamic viticulture took place, rigorously, even the use of copper is dispensed with, machines anyway, processing is carried out with horses. The vineyards resemble natural oases, what diversity, no trace of monoculture. An extremely late harvest with botrytis, a lot of time in the cellar, time instead of chemical helpers, a wheel-cold approach, but the wines are anything but radical, they radiate an inner warmth and calm, a gentleness, a size that is otherwise not found in Sancerre, very large, and far away from the steely, crisp and rampant Sancerre! A revelation!

Tasting note
Fata Morgana - that raw lime, but what you notice is a fantastic garden: roses, quince, kumquats, resin, tea. On the palate, there is once again this golden illusion over the naked - and shines through - in contrast just as fantastic reality: rosemary, rough tannins, pure lime, and once again this garden plays around the stone: quinces and roses, what a scenery - and no one has to die of thirst here! Once again, a Sancerre from Riffault that is as unique as it is magnificent - vital, fantastic, lush.
