A heritage handed down since the 17th century. Domaine Raimbault has perpetuated the art of the vine since the middle of the 17th century. For several generations, the family grows and vinifies with a single philosophy: to unite know-how, respect for nature and passion for the terroir to create authentic wines.

An estate at the heart of the Sancerre vineyard
Set at the centre of the appellation, the estate benefits from the typical Sancerre terroirs, made of limestone and clay-limestone, perfect to magnify its two emblematic grapes: Sauvignon Blanc, the undisputed master of the white wines of the Sancerrois, and Pinot Noir, the delicate grape of the reds and roses. This duality allows the estate to offer fresh, elegant wines, carefully crafted to express the purity of the terroir.
The wines of Domaine Raimbault
Sancerre Blanc
AOC Sancerre - white (Sauvignon Blanc)
A pure expression of Sauvignon: a lively aromatic marked by citrus, white flowers and an elegant minerality, for a wine of great precision and fine length.
Sancerre Blanc « Coteline »
AOC Sancerre - white (Cotelin hillside)
Born from one of the oldest hillsides of the Sancerrois, facing south-east, a poor and stony terroir. Partial vinification in barrels (35%) brings a subtle oaky touch, without ever dominating the fruit.
Sancerre Rouge Vieilles Vignes
AOC Sancerre - red (Pinot Noir)
A wine of character: Pinot Noir combined with barrel ageing offers an elegant, structured and long cuvee, with a nose of intense red fruits and fine tannins.
The range also includes the Sancerre Blanc Vieilles Vignes (ample and round, aged on fine lees), the Sancerre Rouge (a supple, generous Pinot Noir) and the Sancerre Rose, made exclusively from Pinot Noir, tender and delicately fruity.
