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

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. — 3 months ago
