Sextant - Skinbull '20 - Burgundy, France100% Aligot Only 4 bottles left Sextant is the project of Julien Altaber, a negociant winemaker based in St Aubin, Burgundy. For Julien, Sextant is about Special cuves, pet nats, skins, fun and non traditional wines. The cellar is seen as a place to experiment and create, rather than only making terroir based wines with big appellation names. An absolute banger of a pet nat from Julien! The grapes undergo a skin contact maceration: typically half

2/3 of the juice is aged for 12 months in French oak and 1/3 in concrete tanks and released 24 months after bottling

Frederic and Stephanie make delicate and subtle wines with gentle extraction

Food pairing : Something aromatic and rich like Jerk pork or carnitas tacos

The resulting wine is complex and absolutely splendid : an intense and tannic wine with notes of honey

which gives wines with more texture

Viticulture : Certified sustainable

and everything is strictly biodynamic

Allergens : None

wet winds by the “Petit Ballon” and “Grand Ballon” mountains which form part of the Vosges range

characterized by medium-textured

If you rather a cheese board : a creamy Camembert ou Brie de Meaux would be ideal

The wine is fermented in old Sherry butts with indigenous yeasts before slightly less than a year's ageing in very old barrels
