The new name for Riffault's Sancerre Blanc, 2022 Mosaïque Calcaire, is the house's main wine, combing up to 20 parcels. It's a supple, almost succulent style with ripe fruit - melon, pear and pineapple. It has a charming tenderness and holds the mouth with comforting reassurance. It remains light on its feet, like a cloud of Sancerre floating. It's ripe, but the alcohol remains moderate, and there's gentle acidity there. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, July 2023)

Another very fresh and clean wine from Riffault. This is not a single vineyard bottling but a cuvee from multiple plots. Therefore not the same level of complexity and intensity as the excellent wine from the domaine i tried last year. Apples, lime juice, beeswax, wet rock, cheese rind, melons and elderflower.
