Claude Riffault 2022 Sancerre Les Chasseignes

Winemaker Notes

A stunning Sancerre offering a nose which is buoyant as much as it is powerful. There are aromas of lime, gooseberry, yellow apples, and a grassy meadow fresh perfume. The palate shows fresh and ripe fruit, tart citrus notes and, above all, a crystalline minerality. It’s a combination which is ever so invigorating! The finish leaves an exquisite and lingering impression of more citrus fruits and rounded yellow apple. This is extremely well made and will drink upon arrival yet cellar comfortably for at least a decade.

Critical Acclaim

93pts Rebecca Gibb 
The 2022 Les Chasseignes is a silky, richly textured Sancerre with a volume sensation in the mouth. There's an impression of sweet fruit and glycerol, which coats the palate on the long finish. Gently refreshing rather than bright, this marks a departure from the previous racy vintage.
