Claude Riffault - Sancerre Monoparcelle 538 2023 (750ml)

Vinous 95 points
"The 2023 Monoparcelle 538 is focused and firm with a sense that it knows where it's going. This offers up a finely fruity nose with nectarine, ripe lemon and chamomile aromas. Eighteen months on lees added excellent richness and texture to this more vertical interpretation. A bright, luminous acidity pierces its entirety. Although packed with tension and length, the 2023 is still in a tight corridor and will expand with more time in bottle.
