2023 Domaine Claude Riffault Sancerre Les Chasseignes
£39.00
“Salty concentration marks this excellent cuvée, which is filled out with a note of rich, buttered almond behind its ripe fruit. A richly styled Sancerre that offers a different interpretation and boasts great aging potential. Harmonious and long.”
93 Points, Wine Spectator
“The 2023 Chasseignes is already a delight to drink. There’s no need to wait: it offers a warm welcome with a round and immediately charming entrance before tightening up as it moves through the mouth. There’s a belt of tension giving precision on the medium-long finish. This has ripe, pure fruit reminiscent of lemon and honey tea with chamomile. There’s not a hair out of place here.”

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.
