Media Reviews

Rebecca Gibb MW

The only parcel on flint, the 2021 Sancerre Les Chailloux is truly flinty in its appearance - both from the soil and the fact that it`s still on lees when tasted. If you like driven and precise wines with the precision of a laser, make this your target within the Riffault range. Expect gooseberry, citrus, nettles and fresh pineapple and the merest touches of wood. Mineral, firm and taut. A real terroir expression but for those that like their wines a little riper and tender, head towards one of the cuvées planted on limestone and clay. 92-94 points
