A lively, mineral Sancerre to accompany seafood dishes. More info

This is the result of Jérôme Bressy’s hard work and dedication: an array of indigenous grapes, biodynamically farmed and vinified as naturally as possible. Whole bunches are pressed and ferment naturally in tronconic vats before being raised in barrels, in demi-muids and concrete vats for 34 months. This wine is a gem with complex fruity and floral notes. The palate is full-bodied and the tannins elegant. We recommend aging this wine for a few years.

Sancerre Les Chailloux Claude Riffault serve at a temperature of 11°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Filet de saumon fûmé, Homard à la plancha, Poisson mariné au citron.
