In the small commune of Verdigny, the father-son team of Pierre and Bertrand Riffault still work the same vineyards their grandparents and great-grandparents planted in Sancerre. Here, the calcareous clay known locally as caillottes is indeed rocky—stressing the vines in such a way as to produce a rich, ripe grape, completely indicative of the region. With an elegantly fresh nose of lemon and white flowers, its palate is light and lovely with excellent minerality and a crisp, dry finish. Enjoy this on its own or with roast chicken, grilled trout, or salt and pepper tofu!
