| Review: |
• Cuvée Ortus is only bottled in exceptional vintages
• Selected juice is initially fermented as regular Sancerre Blanc, undergoes malolactic fermentation, but wine is aged in 400-L oak barrels, and the lees are stirred daily for a year. The wine is then racked into neutral cask where it ages and settles for an additional year.
• Bottled unfiltered then aged for another year in bottle before release |
