SANCERRE 'AKMENINÉ' SEBASTIEN RIFFAULT 2019 DESCRIPTION

This Akmeninè is a Sauvignon really out of the ordinary, a Sauvignon able to win in a few moments all our appreciation. Riffault here is one of the manufacturers that fascinates us, a philosopher lent to the vineyard, which has chosen the path of organic and quality for its vineyards: no fertilizer, low yields, hand picking and think, use of the horse for plowing ! The goal of the young Sebastien has always been to discover a genuine Sancerre, which had no need of interventions or corrections in the basement, capable of representing the soul most visceral of their land. Judging by this Akmenine, Riffault Sancerre has been able to discover a wonderful, unusual and full of character. Nose, the range of perfumes is so large and complex that it is difficult description: fruity and floral blend with hints of minerals and flow into a tertiary fragrance that represents a major evolution. Bringing the glass close to your lips, you may hear aromas of candied fruit, mature flowers, vanilla with hints of minerals and ethereal unpredictable and constantly changing. In the mouth, the Akmenine confirms his whole personality is captivating and savory, always maintains a precarious balance between the harmony of taste and complexity of flavors. A Sancerre really fascinating, recommended for those who seek in their own glass of wine always new emotion.
