Sébastien Riffault 2017 Akméniné Sancerre
$54.99
Textured and distinctive, with red apple, orange and pineapple layered over ginger, warm spice and a clear mineral note. The palate is dry and gently oxidative, bringing ripe fruit and savoury depth together with measured acidity rather than sharpness. A long, earthy finish suits roast poultry, richer fish, washed-rind cheese or vegetable dishes with browned edges.

About Sébastien Riffault
Sébastien Riffault makes wine at the family estate he shares with his father, Étienne, in Sury-en-Vaux, north of Sancerre. He began his own label in the early 2000s, working vineyards on limestone and clay.
His farming follows biodynamic methods, with a horse used to plough selected parcels. He harvests Sauvignon Blanc later than is usual in Sancerre, seeking riper fruit, then ferments with native yeasts and gives the wines time to mature.
