Piercing acidity drives citrus pith and wet stone across a lean, focused frame. The aromatics show green herbs and lime zest with characteristic Sancerre tension. Light-bodied but intense, with a chalky mineral finish that lingers. Needs another year to flesh out and find its balance.

Claude Riffault

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.
