Product Description
Stephane Riffault is now at the helm of Domaine Claude Riffault, a 13.5-hectare estate based in the village of Sury-en-Vaux, around five kilometres from Sancerre. One of the most exciting domaines in the Sancerre appellation, all the vineyards are certified organic and biodynamic.
“Les Chasseignes” designates caillottes soil: shallow limestone soil and subsoil containing overlapping stones. Stéphane’s lieu-dit of this name is located north of his home and cellars in the village of Sury-en-Vaux. Released in late spring along with Les Boucauds (terres blanches), Les Chasseignes shows the nervier style of wine typical from this distinct terroir.
