Wine Description:
Claude Riffault's Sauvignon Blanc vineyards are meticulously tended with handcrafted care and adapted to individual plots. They span around 10 hectares, each parcel finely tuned to Sancerrois' diverse rock formations. Soil expression is paramount, guiding every step, from vineyard to vinification. Les Chasseignes wines mature primarily in stainless steel, while Les Chailloux, with deeper soil influence, ferments and ages in wood. The range of Riffault's Sancerres spans from lean and steel-like to bold and dense. All share vibrant minerality and stunning precision, though it occasionally challenges perception. These wines brim with energy from Sancerre's captivating soils. An exciting addition for Sauvignon enthusiasts.
Pros:
  • Bright and refreshing, with a citrus-driven nose of lemongrass and grapefruit

Cons:
  • A bit too acidic, with a slightly bitter aftertaste

Wine Expert Note:

This Claude Riffault Les Boucauds Sancerre Blanc is a wonderful example of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. On the nose, it has aromas of honeydew melon, grapefruit, and lime zest. On the palate, it has a crisp acidity and flavors of ripe pear, citrus, and crushed herbs. The finish is long and refreshing, with a lingering hint of minerality. An excellent wine to enjoy with seafood dishes.
