92 / 100""Matured in barrel for 10 months, the 2022 Sancerre Les Boucauds reveals a delicate, pure bouquet of pear, peach, spring flowers, spices and menthol, followed by a moderately weighted, textured and layered palate with bright acids, a lively, fleshy core of fruit and a long, ethereal, mineral-laced finish enhanced by a saline aftertaste. This is a gorgeous rendition of the eponymous parcel composed of clay, limestone and marls." 92 points, Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"

""This tank sample of the 2022 Les Boucauds is full of elderflower, fresh pear and apple aromas. It has amplitude and blossoms in the mouth. It carries its oak well. There's no new oak, unlike in 2022. The 2022 finishes with a flourish and has a salty edge. Long, tranquil and mouthwatering, this wine keeps giving. ." 93 points, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous."

Tasting Notes
Les Boucauds is sourced from several plots near the cellar of Claude Riffault. These sites account for about 50% of the Sauvignon Blanc planted on the estate. They are on Terres Blanches soils – marls and clays over Kimmeridgian limestone.
