Domaine Saint-Cyr "Sauvage" Sauvignon 2021

Biodynamic. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Taken from a young-vines, 15 year-old parcel on clay-limestone in the chalky, limestone-driven Pierres Dorées region of Beaujolais where Domaine St-Cyr is located. One feels the references to some of the other great Sauvignon Blancs of France, particularly the best crus in Sancerre when done in barrel; this wine is a reminder that yeasted, filtered, pink grapefruit Sauvignon Blanc is not how the variety should be known. Direct press, fermented in neutral barrels, raised in the same on full lees for 24 months. Unfined, unfiltered, zero SO2.
