Definitely rustic and tastes like a natural wine. Not sure if I taste what the claypot-aging adds.

Wow. Funky, sharp Sancerre with a beautiful floral nose and serious layers. Get on it.

2008, Sebastien Riffault, Akmenine, Sancerre, Sauvignon Blanc. Cloudy and a little oxidized. A typical Riffault sauv Blanc. This one did age well, still showing a lot of fruit.
