2023 Claude Riffault Sancerre Mosaique Calcaire

The 2023 Claude Riffault Sancerre Mosaique Calcaire is a true expression of the terroir of the Loire Valley in France. On the nose, aromas of ripe citrus and green apple mingle with delicate floral notes, giving a sense of freshness and vitality. On the palate, the wine reveals a beautiful pale straw color with a hint of green, a testament to its youth. The minerality of the limestone soil is evident in the crisp and vibrant acidity, which is balanced by a subtle creaminess from the lees aging. Flavors of lemon, passionfruit, and white peach dance on the palate, leading to a long and refreshing finish. This 2023 vintage from Claude Riffault is a perfect example of the elegance and finesse that Sancerre is known for, and is best enjoyed with seafood or fresh goat cheese.
