95 / 100""Exhibiting a delicate, subtle bouquet of oak reduction, white orchard fruits and flowers, the 2022 Sancerre Les Chasseignes possesses a medium to full-bodied, satiny and deep palate with a seamless texture, a fleshy core of fruit and a long, saline, ethereal finish. Matured for 14 months in barrels, this Sancerre, crafted from vines planted on chalky soils at the top of hillsides facing northeast, is simply stunning." 95+ points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"

""The 2022 Les Chasseignes is a silky, richly textured Sancerre with a volume sensation in the mouth. There’s an impression of sweet fruit and glycerol, which coats the palate on the long finish. Gently refreshing rather than bright, this marks a departure from the previous racy vintage." 91-93 points, Vinous."

Tasting Notes
An incredible wine from the famed Kimmeridgian soils of Sancerre, Claude Riffault's Les Chasseignes 2022 is a Sauvignon Blanc that exudes minerality. This wine offers a complex and layered palate of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of flint, a true testament to the terroir.
