✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted as a dedicated homage cuvée from selected mature parcels planted across Kimmeridgian marls and Oxfordian limestone, this bottling reflects a richer, more structured dimension of Sancerre. Vinification incorporates fermentation and extended maturation on fine lees, utilizing partial French oak barrel contact alongside thermo-regulated stainless steel to meld crisp varietal cut with textural depth and breadth.
🍾 About the Producer
Domaine Raimbault-Pineau is a multi-generational family estate anchored in the village of Sury-en-Vaux, located five kilometers northwest of Sancerre in the Central Loire Valley. With viticultural roots spanning thirteen generations and more than three centuries, the 18-hectare domaine is directed by Sonia Raimbault alongside her children. The vineyards are distributed across the signature geological trio of the region: Oxfordian limestone caillottes, fossil-rich Kimmeridgian marls (terres blanches), and flint-laden silex, extending across four appellations—Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Coteaux du Giennois, and Menetou-Salon. Viticulture is conducted according to sustainable lutte raisonnée principles, respecting vine health and soil microbial life. Cellar practices prioritize temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification and fine-lees aging, preserving laser-sharp tension, bright citrus, and crisp gunflint minerality in Sauvignon Blanc, while crafting supple, red-fruited expressions of Pinot Noir.
