Roger et Didier Raimbault
Roger et Didier Raimbault works in the Upper Loire, where Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir thrive on chalky soils and cool continental winds. The winery's Sancerre Côteline, a Sauvignon Blanc, demonstrates the mineral precision and citrus tension the region is known for. Their Vieilles Vigne Sancerre Blanc, also Sauvignon Blanc, draws from older vines to add depth and complexity. The Vieilles Vignes Sancerre Rouge, made from Pinot Noir, captures the elegant red-fruit character and silky structure typical of Upper Loire reds. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Wine Spectator have all rated wines from the winery. The portfolio reflects the terroir-driven approach central to Sancerre: restrained alcohol, high acidity, and a focus on expressing the limestone bedrock beneath the vineyard.
