2021 Claude Riffault Les Denisottes Sancerre, Loire Valley, France
Regular price $60.00
Unit price per
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Claude Riffault's son Stéphane is now running the famed Sancerre estate and turning out Sancerre bottlings that are the envy of many producers twice his age (he's barely 30). Les Denisottes comes from a parcel located close to the domaine’s cellar. Here the terres blanches soils are deeper and more pebbly than rocky and producing a richer style of Sancerre. It requires a longer élevage in barrel (the process of essentially nurturing the wine from fermentation to barrel to bottle) and released with a greater capacity to age.
