The nose reveals notes of ripe lemon, lime, green apple and elderflower, complemented by wet stone, chalk and a subtle saline touch. On the palate, the wine is crisp and energetic, with a pure core of citrus and white stone fruit, vibrant acidity, and a dry, mineral finish. The aftertaste is fresh, chalky and very pure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"1287\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"818\"\u003eVinification.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"818\" data-end=\"821\"\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, with minimal intervention to preserve the character of the fruit and the calcareous soils. The wine then ages for about 8 to 10 months on fine lees, in a combination of tanks and large, neutral wooden barrels (500–600 litres) to impart texture without pronounced oak influence. After bottling, a short period of bottle rest follows to allow the wine to integrate beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1289\" data-end=\"1822\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1289\" data-end=\"1304\"\u003eThe domain.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1304\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003eDomaine Claude Riffault is one of Sancerre's absolute top producers and is known for its precise, parcel-driven style. The domain works organically, with great attention to biodiversity, soil health, and manual work in the vineyard. In the cellar, intervention is kept to a minimum: natural yeasts, gentle handling, and an upbringing that prioritises tension and terroir. \"Mosaïque Calcaire\" is the elegant, chalk-driven entry point to the house style, with surprisingly much depth and ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Summum Wijn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51644010332500,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/9309\/4740\/files\/ClaudeRiffaultSancerreMosaiqueCalcaires.png?v=1765544941","url":"https:\/\/summumwijn.be\/en\/products\/domaine-claude-riffault-sancerre-mosaique-calcaire-2023","provider":"Summum Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
