Charles Dufour Mistelle Assemblage Perpetuel, France
$140.00
Certified Organic. 100% Pinot Noir. Charles Dufour’s take on ratafia is unlike any other—lighter, fresher, and lower in alcohol than the typical versions found in Champagne. Made entirely from the final 20% of the press (‘taille’) from a Françoise Martinot vineyard, this release is a blend of 50% 2020 taille (fermented with a 2:1 must-to-marc ratio and aged outdoors for a year) and 50% from Dufour’s perpetual vin mistelle réserve (2015-2019). No added SO2, unfined, unfiltered. With only 1,000 bottles produced, this is a rare expression—savory, delicate, and only gently sweet, its acidity and structure clearly echoing its Blanc de Noirs Champagne lineage.
