This is the “Mosaïque” which is made from specific vines over 50 years old and aged in a mix of amphora and stainless steel which is a distinct difference from the standard bottling. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course 90min. The 2019 pours a brilliant ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, cherry, red flowers, licorice, herbs, and a touch of black pepper. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is really attractive. So fresh. So pure. Fantastic with chicken liver mousse mixed with duck fat. Drink now through 2029. — 2 months ago

Fresh and delicate, with notes of white fruits, pear and peach, fresh apricot and white flowers with roses. Dried fruit aromas reveal it is starting to mature. Lush, generous and creamy. Beautiful exuberance driven by white fruits and lemon zest notes on the finish — 3 months ago

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) — 2 years ago
