More uncompromising Sauvignon from Sébastien Riffault. Auksinis, meaning "late" in Lithuanian (Sébastien’s wife is Lithuanian) describes the fact that Séb allows the fruit to hang on the vine until the ‘noble rot’ botrytis occurs. This adds more layers to an already endlessly detailed, broad-shouldered riff on this grape.

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.
