| 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 Only made in select vintages.” |
