"A great introduction to understanding Sancerre red wine (RVF)"

“Always well-crafted and crisp, this 2022 Pinot reveals a more vibrant fruitiness than before. Its very appealing, supple texture and subtle acidity lend it a lively finish. A great introduction to Sancerre reds.” (La RVF magazine, April 2024)

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (A well-crafted, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Julien and Clément Raimbault cultivate 21 hectares on the hillsides of Maimbray and Sury-en-Vaux, in clay-limestone soils. Their very consistent lineup features well-rounded wines in both red and white, with reds that combine power and elegance and whites that are pure and refined. All at very reasonable prices. A sure bet.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91/100 (April issue, p. 99)

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:

Always well-crafted and crisp, this 2022 Pinot reveals a more vibrant fruitiness than before. Its very appealing, supple body and subtle acidity lend it a lively finish. A great introduction to Sancerre reds.

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.
