2022 Sancerre Les Chailloux, Domaine Claude Riffault

2022 Sancerre Les Chailloux, Domaine Claude Riffault

Stéphane Riffault grows in stature with every vintage, and is now unquestionably one of the most exciting producers in the appellation. Chailloux is the local Sancerrois name for flint (more commonly known as silex), and this parcel is tucked up in the north-east of the appellation where this soil type predominates. It has a northwest aspect and is shaded by a large forest. Flinty sites are often a little warmer, but this one keeps cool, and produces profound acidity. The 2022 is focused and structured with a flinty power and backbone of acidity, that drives through the wine from the start through to the very long finish. Excellent.
