Domaine Les Poëte is the project of Guillaume Sorbe, a former sommelier who returned to his native Berry to work vineyards around Reuilly and Quincy. Orphée is made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc, bringing together nine small parcels with varied soils including clay-limestone, alluvial gravel and red sand. Sorbe farms according to organic and biodynamic principles, with an emphasis on careful work in the vineyard and long élevage in the cellar.
The 2020 was harvested by hand and given an extended élevage on its lees in both tank and oak. Broad and textured, it shows citrus and ripe orchard fruit with floral and herbal notes, balanced by fresh acidity and a subtle saline character. Fine bitterness on the finish adds structure and keeps the wine fresh despite its richness.
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
Appellation: Reuilly, Loire Valley
Farming: Organic and biodynamic practices
Style: White. Textured, savory and fresh
