SÉBASTIEN RIFFAULT
LOIRE VALLEY
~ Macerated White Wine ~
~ 100% Sauvignon Blanc ~
60 year old vines of Sauvignon Blanc from a 1 ha plot on clay-limestone soil. Both “Vendange Tardive” and “Sélection de Grains Nobles” (100% botrytis), an absolute rarity in Sancerre! Sébastien left a small part of the grapes from the Auksinis vineyards hanging on the vines for another 3 to 4 weeks (early November harvest). Tiny yields and grapes completely affected by ‘noble rot’.
On top of the late harvest is added skin maceration. First experiment, extremely low yields.
