2018 Sextant - Julien Altaber Intuition Les Fas
WINEMAKER: Julien Altaber & Carole Schwab
REGION: Burgundy, FR
VARIETAL: Aligoté
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
"This is one of three new “long maceration” or orange wines that Julien and Carole are experimenting with to great effect. This one sees Aligoté grape macerated over a long period to produce an orange wine of stunning flavour and texture." - Living Wines
Julien is a thoughtful person who has absorbed the art and the science of winemaking and decided to branch out with his own wines made from grapes sourced from some very good terroirs in the area. Julien and Carole Schwab have now bought the Domaine Derain business in addition to their commitments to the Sextant domaine and will be making the Derain wines from now on (with Dominique still in the background!).
