Fabien Jouves Ratafia made from Malbec in Cahors. This is a bit like grappa, but not. And a bit like port, but not. So it’s like their child. And oh my goodness it’s amazing. — 2 years ago

Champagne ratafia was described as the champagne before fermentation. Champagne ratafia is a rare and very aromatic natural sweet wine. Crazy aromatics would be a better description. This wine made me reconsider my “not a fan of sweet wine” stance.
It’s Paris so it’s always going to be about the food and the wine. A rule to remember — when in France, don’t knock the lesser known wines because you may find a gem. Yesterday was a great start.

Ceccherini Cristiano
50% fermented Montepulciano and 50% sour cherry syrup
120g residual sugar
Viscous and still driven from a good freshness
It's all about the visciola, the indigenous cherry from abruzzo that helps making the ratafia as well in the region.
