Akemenine - Lithuanian for "stony" is a wine without compromise, only 100% Sauvignon Blanc from limestones and clay soils. A smokey note, but this is the only similarity between others from Sancerre. Very low yields, slight over-ripening of the grapes followed by a skilled maceration on the skins. An orange wine according to Riffault himself.

Sebastien Riffault

Sébastien Riffault produces a kind of Sancerre that bears little resemblance to the wines most produce in that appellation today. He often harvests with a large percentage of botrytis and is not afraid of oxygen or time on skins. The resulting wines are complex, nigh kaleidoscopic expressions of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir that really resonate.
