Sancerre Quarterons Sebastien Riffault, Biodynamic wine, Unfined & Unfiltered, Low Sulpur wine, showing a depth of minerality and a lively crisp finish. Riffaults wines are very different to the standard tourist experience of Sancerre, cirsp, lean fruit bombs with tons of citrus and green fruits but not much else. Sebastien prefers to show the depth of his terroir and grapes by harvsting late, the acidity is a little lower and the intensity much higher. The wines still display classic varietal aromas particularly this Cuvee which is the youngest and most straight forward but there is more depth, texture and complexity in Riffault wines than most Sancerre. The style is surprising and delicious.
