Wine information<\/p>\n
This is the estate's entry-level Sancerre, which since the 2022 vintage has been Calcaire Mosa\u00efque<\/em> is called. It comes mainly from the limestone-dominated sites such as Les Boucauds, Les Chasseignes and Les Denisottes with Terres Blanches and Caillottes. The wine was fermented spontaneously in stainless steel and then aged partly in stainless steel and partly in used larger wood for seven months.<\/p>\n Colour<\/p>\n light lemon yellow<\/p>\n Nose<\/p>\n The Sancerre named Mosa\u00efque Calcaire<\/em> is an aromatic, light-coloured and pleasantly citrusy wine. This year it is more powerful and less yellow-fruity than last year. Instead, it is reminiscent of cedrat lemons and a little lime zest, grapefruit and pineapple rind, white flowers and a little damp lichen on wet rock.<\/p>\n Palate<\/p>\n On the palate, the Sancerre<\/em> a lot of fun. I also like Riffault's more opulent vintages, but this one is also racy, powerful, citric and stony on the palate. There are hardly any expressive Sauvignon notes here, neither grassy nor exotic. It is a rock wine with a tight structure, lively acidity, freshness and finesse.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tasting notes and food recommendations from Christoph Raffelt<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Food pairing suggestions<\/h2>\n
