Claude Riffault - Sancerre Denisottes 2023 (750ml)

Vinous 91 - 93 points
(Claude Riffault Les Denisottes White) Still undergoing its élevage in wood, the 2023 Les Denisottes has surprising freshness akin to a shot of caffeine. It may not be as concentrated or rich as the 2022, but this wine shows promise. It positively sings like a soprano, clear and pure with energy and drive. (Drink between 2025-2032)  (91-93) points

93 Points

"For fans of a generously styled Sancerre, this inviting, sunny version delivers. Broad and warm, with lemon curd, nectarine, quince and honeyed notes flecked with toasted nuts and grilled herbs. Stays snappy and balanced, with juicy acidity powering through, balancing fluidity with energy. Judicious touches of oak and smoke round everything out. Complex but not heavy. Drink now through 2030. 800 cases made, 125 cases imported." - (KB)
