WINE DESCRIPTION

Claude Riffault Monoparcelle 469 Sancerre is a premium white wine produced by Claude Riffault, a renowned winemaker from the Sancerre appellation in the Loire Valley, France. This wine is made from grapes grown in a single vineyard, known as Monoparcelle 469, which is characterized by its unique terroir and soil composition. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and purity. The resulting wine is crisp, elegant, and expressive, with notes of citrus, green apple, and mineral undertones. It is a perfect representation of the classic Sancerre style, and a must-try for any wine enthusiast.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Claude Riffault Monoparcelle 469 Sancerre is a delightful expression of the Sauvignon Blanc grape.Aromas of lemon, lime, and grapefruit mingle with notes of honeysuckle and subtle grassy tones. On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant with a delightful mix of citrus and herbal flavors that are balanced by a pleasant mineral note. The finish is crisp and clean, with a lingering acidity that begs for another sip. An excellent example of Sancerre from this appellation.
