Grown over 4 hectares of clay and limestone soils in the upper Loire. Grapes are hand-picked, direct pressed and ferment in stainless steel for 2 years. This is the only cuvee from Sebastien that has the smallest amount of SO2 added a bottling, less than 10mg/l.
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.
