Reuilly

Light

Cork

Light in colour with red fruits aromas and notes of raspberry. Lightly structured but there are some quite dry tannins that need time to soften. Domaine de Reuilly began in 1935 when Denis Jamain’s grandmother settled in Reuilly and started to plant Sauvignon Blanc. In the early 1990s Denis took over and started to expand the domaine. There are now 23ha of vines – 14ha of Sauvignon Blanc, 5ha of Pinot Noir and 4ha of Pinot Gris – used to make the delicate, pale coloured rosé that is a Reuilly speciality. The domaine was certified organic in 2007 and achieved biodynamic certification in 2011. Les Fossiles comes from a 4ha parcel of Pinot Noir planted on clay limestone facing due south. Native yeasts are used and the wine matures in stainless steel for eight months.
