Information
Located in the municipality of Sury-en-Vaux and Maimbray (to the north of Sancerre), Domaine du Pré Semelé was created in the 1940s, with only 3 hectares to begin with. Three generations later, the vineyard spans 20 hectares and the brothers Julien and Clément Raimbault manage the property together. The vineyard is managed sustainably and takes inspiration from organic viticulture. Grass is allowed to grow between rows so as to promote competition and force the roots to dig deep into the soils for their nutrients. In the winery, vinifications are low intervention and natural. The domain's wines are defined by their intensity, finesse and purity. In 2017, the Revue du vin de France named the cuvée ‘Les Chasseigne' the second-best Sauvignon in the world.
On clay-chalk soil, the harvests are undertaken at optimal maturity following the principles of sustainable growth. After gentle pressing and a fermentation in stainless steel vats at a low temperature, the maturation takes place on fine lees with stirring. This white exudes a nose of blackcurrant, lemon, and just-ripe yellow fruits. The whole thing is enrobed in a pale golden colour. The palate us supple, fruity, and fresh. To enjoy with a good friend!
