Short note. Intense black pepper, smoked meat, blackberry, black olive times 10, brown sugar on the nose; really unique dried rose aroma, almost Nebbiolo like. Excellent acid, superb balance; decant for 2 hours. Wait for 4 years and will probably be better. Fucking great. @Lyle Fass — 2 months ago

High stakes fall baseball and a Sancerre rouge. This is quite nice for the difficult ‘21 vintage. Color is super light. Nose is quite fragrant, with wafting sweet cherry juice, a mid-toned floral note, and flinty crushed stone. Enters gently on the palate, with cherry juice leading, but a bitterish note quickly appears and accelerates on the slightly short finish. Overall, a fine effort given conditions, and lovely with a simply roasted chicken. — a year 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)

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) — 3 years ago

This 12-year-old Domaine Jean Dauvissat “Heritage” Chablis — popped and poured — is still drinking quite well, maybe not quite at the level of the 2014 Premier Cru bottles, but with the solid acidity, still very nice!! I just found 4 bottles in my cellar, and had no idea they were still there!!
@Lyle Fass, if you see this, other than reassuring me of my abject stupidity for burying these in a box with 1985 Raveneau Grand Crus (these were on the bottom, WTH!?!?), I’d love to hear any thoughts you might have on this wine!! — 3 months ago
