On the nose, it offers elegant and expressive fruit aromas, complemented by the fresh, mineral-tinged character associated with Sancerre. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with focused fruit, lively acidity and a long, intense finish.\n\nEnjoyable in its youth for its freshness and energy, the wine may also develop greater aromatic complexity over the next few years when stored properly in a cool, dark cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClaude Riffault farms 13.5 hectares across six parcels north of Sancerre, with 10.5 hectares planted to Sauvignon Blanc and the remaining 3 hectares to Pinot Noir. Les Chasseignes is one of the estate’s designated vineyard sites, alongside Les Boucauds, Les Denisottes, Les Chailloux, Les Desmalets and La Noue. The grapes undergo a cold maceration followed by pneumatic pressing. Fermentation takes place 70% in stainless steel tanks and 30% in oak barrels, after which the wine matures for 7–8 months on its lees, with occasional bâtonnage when appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA versatile glass to enjoy on its own, this Sancerre is especially well suited to grilled fish, shellfish and mussels.
