Crystalline precision from pure flint soils. Tart gooseberry and lime zest cut through with herbal complexity and wet stone minerality. The palate shows impressive tension. Linear and focused rather than generous. This is Sancerre for purists who prize terroir over charm.

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.
