Claude Riffault Les Chasseignes 2023

Sancerre, France

WineSaint

Creamy textures from malolactic fermentation soften this Sancerre's mineral backbone. Ripe stone fruit mingles with wet limestone and fresh herbs. The palate shows good weight but trails off quickly, suggesting the wine needs more development time.

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.
