About the estate:
Julien and Clément Raimbault farm 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.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste 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 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.
