Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The 2023 pours pale pink color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with pretty notes of strawberry, raspberry, a mixed bouquet of flowers, watermelon and stony minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium and refreshing. Crush now with some good weather, some good mates and some light fare. — 7 months ago

Lovely, crisp, tart, floral aroma and lemon accents. Nice on its own or with a picatta-style meal. — 9 months ago

Expressions of stone fruit, delicate herbal notes (perhaps white flowers) and a slight hint of melon on the noise. Striking acidity, bright and mouth watering. Strong mineral backbone with a clean and refreshing lemon peel finish. Excellent. — 6 years ago

So, this Sancerre is one of those IYKYK wines that I purchased nearly 20 years ago and lost in my cellar — Edmond Vatan (who I believe has been deceased for some time, his daughter is running the tiny estate these days) made around 500 cases of this amazing Sancerre, but the dumb ass typing this note thought it’d easily last 20-25 years (2002 being a fine Loire vintage) — obviously I significantly miscalculated, as this should have been consumed 10 or more years ago. With that said, with fresh grilled tuna steaks, the wine is standing up well, very nice richness, still excellent acidity. but any freshness has long ago faded. Yet, my admiration for Monsieur Vatan is only enhanced by the fact this shows pretty darn well for a wine not likely intended to be aged as long as the dumb ass typist thought it should!! — 6 months ago

Jammy, fruity, easy going, with a long fresh finish. Juicy raspberry, strawberry and plum, with a tingly acidity, slight tannin, and notes of dark chocolate, woody bark and some slight smoke, the medium body and dark rose color make for an elevated glou, the nose is slightly more floral, but still plenty of fruit, with a slight mushroom hint and great crunchy fruit. Really enjoyable, incredible value, great for easy drinking! — 8 months ago

Star bright, very pale straw gold. Very inviting nose and medium palate of green apple, citrus rind, and mild chalky mineral. Medium acidity. Ready for your best seafood dishes or soft cheeses. Excellent example of the higher end of Sauvignon Blanc (but at a more midrange price). Drink now through 2024. — 5 years ago

Brilliant Sancerre with a very light oak influence. Great minerality with chalk and flint happily supporting grapefruit, lemon, apple and a whiff of cut grass. Great depth, firm acidity and very expressive. A tremendous example of upscale Sauvignon blanc — 7 years ago

Crisp, citrus mix of tangerine and lemon, creamy and smooth, paired very nicely with a simple Branzino prepared in olive oil, lemon, and salt. — 6 months ago

Beautiful dry sav blanc, and a fantastic value! Crisp, crystalline color with notes of green apple, sharp minerality, and a slight note of baked goods on the nose. Light bodied, with sharp crispness and acidity that tingles long after the first sip, with notes of lime rind, crisp green apple, white peach, and wet stone. The lime acid is very prominent! — 8 months ago

Rounded and quite plush on the nose. A little whiff of age… rounded and still quite fresh. Lacks the cut of the younger wines — 9 months ago

On this Wednesday, "Hump Day", I have opened the 2019 Domaine Claude Riffault Sancerre Les Boucauds.

On the nose I am getting lime, white peach, pear, melon, gooseberry, nectarine and minerals.

On the palate is good notes of lime, white peach, grapefruit, pear, minerality and some flinty stone.

This is a beautiful Sancerre medium bodied wine with medium + acidity that moves nicely into a long fresh citrus mineral finish. I hope everyone's week is going well as we continue to move quickly into spring. What a beautiful week we have been having with springtime temperatures. Please stay safe and healthy and enjoy the rest of your week. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂 — 5 years ago
