Sancerre AOC Saulétas 2019 Domaine Sebastien Riffault

Sancerre Blanc Saulétas from Domaine Etienne et Sebastien Riffault is a white wine produced in the Loire region of France. This wine is made with Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown on siliceous soils.

The winemaking involves spontaneous fermentation with 50% of the botrytized grapes in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for 36 months on the fine lees in old barriques, developing a complex structure and great maturity. This process gives the wine a unique and distinctive profile.

The Sancerre Blanc Saulétas offers a rich aromatic bouquet, with notes of overripe fruit, botrytis and a marked minerality. On the palate, the wine is opulent and tense, with a good balance between freshness and maturity. The complexity and depth of the wine make it a fascinating and engaging tasting experience.

This wine pairs perfectly with legume-based dishes, smoked fish and mature cheeses.
