Light straw with green hints . Quite discreet and reserved on the nose , elderflower , camomile, oyster shell , green apple , sea breeze . On the palate this is strict and direct , green apple , chalky mineral and oyster shell notes , very mineral focused . Fills out with a slightly creamy texture . Good length focused and detailed . Very young but enjoyable now , quite Chablis-esque is style . Probably even better in 3-5 years and will last well a further 5 -8 or so — 3 months ago

Delightful. Lemon peel and clean mineral. The finish lasts longer than expected and it’s super clean. Pairs beautifully with seafood and would work equally well as a warm weather white on its own. Looking forward to drinking this again. — 2 years ago

Pale-medium lemon color.
Aromas of lemonade, honeydew, pear, subtle minerality.
Dry. Flavors of warm lemon, gritty pear, honeydew, subtle vegetal undertone (balanced), subtle well integrated custard notes, wet stone. From one vintage to the next, this wine never disappoints!

Intensity: 4/5
Complexity: 3/5
Balance: 5/5
Finish: 5/5 — 3 months ago

This Sancerre went perfectly with the Cotriade last night! Nice light acidity was perfectly balanced. — a year ago

Kurt birthday wine. Still really great but liked the way it drank a few years ago. Would go younger on vintage. Maybe 3 years old instead of 7. — a year ago

Above average Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley. The wine lingers on the palate with nice citrus notes and plenty of depth. Drank May 2023. — 2 years ago

The 2019 Sancerre Les Chasseignes has a ripe and open expression. It fills the mouth with a sense of effortlessness, which Stephane Riffault puts down to both the caillottes soil and the ripeness of the vintage. It is in the riper spectrum of Sauvignon aromatics. This wine leaves the variety's green flavors far behind and focuses instead on orchard fruit and almost heads into the realms of tropical fruit, which isn't something you normally associate with Sancerre. Gently refreshing with the caillottes providing a line of chalkiness on the finish. One for the short to medium term due to the vintage's ripe profile. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, August 2021)
