Sebastien Riffault is an original in the world of Sancerre wine, he makes natural wines ... No chemistry, very little or no sulfur at all and the result is there for all to see. Impressive, exciting fruit purity with fresh yet deep flavours, perfectly balanced.'Auksinis, one of the estate's white cuvees, is fine and powerful at the same time. 2009 is a great success.
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.
