Description
Silver Medal winner at the 2017 Concours des Ligers, this Sancerre is the result of a blend of Sauvignon Blanc coming from different parcels of two soil types: 'terres blanches' and 'caillottes.' The terres blanches soils give the wine power and a smooth mouthfeel, while the caillottes soils provide it with fruit and aromatic finesse.

Tasting Notes
The Raimbault family has been growing grapes in the Verdigny district of France for 10 generations, and our panel thought this might be its best Sancerre yet. It offers exuberant lime zest, grapefruit and green apple with vibrant acidity and bracing minerality. Pair with lobster tail, mussels or green salads with goat cheese. (VINTAGES panel, Oct. 2015)
