The sunny, limestone-rich terroir from which it originates gives the Les Chasseignes cuvée notes of ripe fruit—notably white peach and juicy pear—as well as remarkable minerality. Rich and well-balanced, the palate offers a beautiful, refined attack and a lovely, lingering finish that makes your mouth water with its mineral character. Don’t wait to try it!

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—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. Over the past few vintages, we’ve been delighted to see a more relaxed approach to the wines’ expression. They’re now more laid-back and indulgent, while retaining the precision that has become their trademark. 2022, a sunny vintage, is a masterful balancing act! 2023, unsurprisingly, has produced wines that are more refined and elegant.

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on October 30, 2016
I'm still just as impressed by this beautiful 2014 vintage, which perfectly captures the essence of the terroir. It has a lively, mineral-driven attack, citrus notes, and a lovely finish.
