Description
"The 2021 Sancerre Les Denisottes is based on old vines rooting in deep Kimmeridgian terres blanches soils only 100 meters from the domaine. The widely branched root system has emancipated this Riffault "chateau wine" from vintage caprices. The nose is clear, intense and pure in its iodine and mineral-oyster expression that integrates discreet fruit hints of limes, lemons and cassis. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, intense and rich but also refined and elegant Sancerre with a long, tensile and structured finish. This is a purely mineral Sancerre with stimulating salts and generous but neither prominent nor dominant fruit. The Denisottes is a safe bet here, and it's always exciting in its high-energy performance paired with purity and finesse. Highly recommended. Biodynamic. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in March 2023." - 94 Point Stephan Reinhardt The Wine Advocate
