Sébastien Riffault Auksinis Tardif Sancerre 2014
Type: White
Producer: Sébastien Riffault
Country: France
Region: Loire Valley
Grape: Sauvignon Blanc
Year: 2014
Farming: Organic
This is not your regular Sancerre. Sébastien picks his grapes very late in the growing season, after bortrytis (noble rot) forms. Wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged on the lees. Wines are fermented in large, old barrels with wild yeast and aged on their lees, while still maintaining crisp, intense acidity. No fining, filtering or SO2 added.
Sebastien's wine are complex, bursting with life. Notes of ripe apricots, meyer lemon, and honey, just to name a few. Seriously delicious and worth a try if you haven't fallen in love with them already!
