    If you are not prepared the effect it has on you is primarily like the "kick" that the gun leaves after firing. Unexpected, intense, impossible to predict if you didn't know beforehand. Not, of course, in the sense of a big, strong, robust red wine since Loire always means elegance. Just with the differentness of Raudonas compared to anything else you've tasted. The intense earthy elements contrast the fruit. The animal character borders on error and "haunts" aromas and flavors. The light cloudy color doesn't let you see through the glass. It is not subject to conventions. It is distinctive and funky and will certainly disturb your peace while showing a different truth to the Pinot Noir of the region.

    More info

    Let the Raudonas first unfold in a carafe for at least two hours, developing its aromas after contact with the air. Even if you leave it open for days you will be surprised by its evolution. Sebastien ,just like for his white wines, uses biodynamically grown grapes that are 40% affected by botrytis. After a short ten day maceration without pigeage, (dipping the "hat" to extract color) the wine is allowed to age for twenty-four months in old oak foudres with no treatment whatsoever before bottling. Unfiltered, unfiltered and sulphite-free, it has a nose where next to the fresh fruit you will find spices, ripe tomato and intense animal and earthy notes such as mushroom. Raudonas is Sebastien's attempt to reverse Sancerre's course towards a healthy authenticity-filled past that seems to have been long lost.
