Ramaye Le Vin de L'Oubli 2000 Strangest of strange wines alert. “The wine of the forgotten” is a 100% Mauzac Vin de Voile. Basically, a cask is topped up to about 90% full with recently fermented Mauzac and then left to mature in the partially open barrel. A layer of yeast grows on the surface of the wine, protecting it from oxygen, which over many years changes the character and flavours of the wine itself.
The result here is a truly magnificent wine, utterly dry, really pungent and savoury nose. Incredibly intense notes of almonds, sherbet, comté and marmalade. Somewhere in between a Vin Jaune and a very intense Manzanilla Pasada in style. Not for the faint-hearted.
Grape: Mauzac
500ml Vintage: 2009
