Claude Riffault, Sancerre, Les Denisottes 2022 6x75cl

(93-95) Points, Rebecca Gibb, 2024-2031 Vinous There's nothing shy about the 2022 Les Chaiilloux. It is firm and focused with a strict structure, backbone of acidity and flinty power that guns through the wine from start to finish. There's concentration and substance wrapped up in this compact wine, whose edges have been curved by time in foudre on lees. I've called this a strict, schoolmistressy wine in the past, and in 2022, it remains strict but less uptight. Elderflowers and nettles meet subtle autolytic notes on the long, direct finish.
