Claude Riffault Sancerre Blanc 2021

Elderflower and wet stone aromatics open to a palate of lime zest and green apple. The texture shows lovely tension. Lean but not thin, with that signature Loire minerality cutting through the mid-palate. Classic Sancerre precision after a string of riper years.

A small Sancerre domaine run by Stéphane Riffault, making site-specific, low-intervention Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire's most storied appellation. Among the region's most thoughtful producers.
