Note di degustazione
The 2021 Les Denisottes is a firm style with crunchy acidity piercing the wine's body. It has taken on roundness from aging in large barrels for more than a year and having some batonnage to build body around its rod of acidity. The 2021 is assertive, with nettle and gooseberry lingering on the medium-length finish.

The 2021 Sancerre Les Denisottes is based on old vines rooting in deep Kimmeridgian terres blanches soils only 100 meters from the domaine. The widely branched root system has emancipated this Riffault "chateau wine" from vintage caprices. The nose is clear, intense and pure in its iodine and mineral-oyster expression that integrates discreet fruit hints of limes, lemons and cassis. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, intense and rich but also refined and elegant Sancerre with a long, tensile and structured finish. This is a purely mineral Sancerre with stimulating salts and generous but neither prominent nor dominant fruit. The Denisottes is a safe bet here, and it's always exciting in its high-energy performance paired with purity and finesse. Highly recommended. Biodynamic. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in March 2023.
Still in barrel, this has a lively and crisp entry; the 2021 Sancerre Les Denizottes really says "dinnng!" with its zesty expression. Light in body, there's a little flesh through the wine, and it's perhaps the most varietal and least charming of the 2021s with its nettle notes.
