"A Pinot Noir full of finesse"

“In the red wine category, 2020 produced vibrant Pinot Noirs: the Sancerre is juicy and alluring, best enjoyed starting in 2023.” (The RVF Guide 2023) This red Sancerre reveals a beautiful range of red fruits on the nose—evoking raspberry and strawberry—in an intense and elegant profile.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Rising stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

In the red wine category, 2020 produced some vibrant Pinot Noirs: the Sancerre is juicy and enticing, and ready to drink as early as 2023.

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 greater sense of freedom in the wines’ expression. They’re now more relaxed and indulgent, while still retaining the precision that has become their hallmark. 2022, a sunny vintage, is a masterful balancing act! 2023, unsurprisingly, has produced wines that are more refined and elegant.
