Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2021 pours a garnet/purple color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of bramble jam, pomegranate, licorice, black pepper and minerals. 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 quite remarkable at 10.5% ABV. It’s nearly sacramental! Perfect over lunch with light fare. Drink now through 2031. — 8 days ago

Mooie roze-oranje kleur, fruitig in de neus met grapefruit en appel cider, vol van smaak met champagne gist-tonen en hinten van sinaasappel, frisse afdronk. Topper! — 9 years ago

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
