Sébastien Riffault's Auksinis Maceration Sancerre is a bold and distinctive expression of Sauvignon Blanc that pushes the boundaries of traditional winemaking. The name "Auksinis," meaning gold in Lithuanian, reflects the wine's rich and amber-hued personality, a result of the unique maceration process applied by Riffault.
Tasting Notes
NOSE:
This distinct Sancerre opens with an intriguing nose of sun-ripened peaches, orange blossom, and a subtle earthiness.
TASTE:
The maceration process adds a layer of texture, providing a velvety mouthfeel that envelops the palate. Flavors of tropical fruits, apricot skin, and a hint of chamomile intermingle with a touch of tannin derived from the skin contact.
FINISH:
The result is a wine that marries the freshness of Sauvignon Blanc with the structure and complexity of extended skin maceration, culminating in a lingering, textured finish.
Food Pairing
Auksinis Maceration Sancerre is a versatile companion to a range of hearty dishes. Its robust character makes it an excellent pairing with aged cheeses like Comté or Manchego. The wine's structure also complements grilled poultry, particularly duck breast with a fruit compote. For a unique experience, try it with Moroccan tagine or a dish featuring spiced quinoa and roasted vegetables.
