The wine was aged on fine lees for approximately fourteen months, with minimal intervention, building texture and complexity while retaining saline clarity and limestone driven freshness. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1521\" data-end=\"1564\"\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1562\"\u003eSancerre, Loire Valley, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1594\"\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong data-start=\"1573\" data-end=\"1592\"\u003eSauvignon Blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1596\" data-end=\"1614\"\u003eVintage \u003cstrong data-start=\"1604\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003e2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1633\"\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1631\"\u003e14%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1677\"\u003eStyle \u003cstrong data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1675\"\u003eMineral, precise, saline white\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1679\" data-end=\"1701\"\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"1699\"\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1842\"\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong data-start=\"1714\" data-end=\"1840\"\u003eHand harvested, indigenous yeast fermentation, gentle extraction, extended lees ageing about 14 months in neutral oak and concrete vessels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1844\" data-end=\"1927\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003eLow Intervention, Organic, Biodynamic \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Claude Riffault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55409142727032,"sku":"SANCECHAIL-23-DOM-WHI","price":43.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Sancerre_Les_Chailloux_C_Riffault.png?v=1767722648"},{"product_id":"sancerre-les-chasseignes-domaine-claude-riffault-2023","title":"Sancerre Les Chasseignes, Domaine Claude Riffault 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine Claude Riffault is based in Sury en Vaux, in the heart of Sancerre, where the family has farmed vines since the early twentieth century.
