The sunny, limestone terroir from which it originates gives the Les Chasseignes cuvée notes of ripe fruit, including white peach and juicy pear, as well as remarkable minerality. Rich and balanced, the palate offers a beautiful, refined attack and a very nice length that makes your mouth water with its minerality. Don't wait to discover it!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Julien and Clément Raimbault represent the next generation of Sancerre winemakers: trained by the Pinard brothers and Alphonse Mellot, they cultivate the family's 21 hectares of vineyards on clay-limestone terroirs. The vines are grown according to organic farming principles (but without certification). The top-of-the-range wines, Les Chasseignes and Zeste for whites, and Camille for reds, come from the oldest vines planted on the best-exposed plots. The range is very consistent and successful in both colors: the reds combine power and elegance, while the whites are pure and refined. With very reasonable prices, this address is more than just a safe bet: it's a real Gem
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The Raimbault brothers, Julien and Clément, embody the new generation of Sancerre winemakers. In previous editions, we highlighted wines that were clear, modern, and smooth, but perhaps a little too polished. Certain parameters need to be adjusted so that winemakers can break free from this technically flawless framework and offer a more vibrant definition of Sancerre. "We are delighted to see a greater sense of freedom in the expression of the wines. They are now more relaxed and indulgent, while retaining the precision that has become their trademark. 2022, a sunny vintage, is a balancing act! The pleasure experienced during tasting has earned the estate its first star.
