Loire Valley Domaine du Pré Semelé

Our committee's review

Julien and Clément Raimbault have risen to the top tier of Sancerre, earning 1 star in the RVF Guide (Revue du Vin de France) and challenging traditional hierarchies. Trained by icons Vincent Pinard and Alphonse Mellot, the brothers have developed their own distinctive style, crafting wines of exceptional balance and remarkable precision, with a purity that sets them apart.

Organically farmed, their 22-hectare vineyard is largely situated on slopes with chalky clay soils, ideal for producing wines of exceptional finesse and delivering a vibrant, precise expression of Sancerre. They embody the ambitious new generation of Sancerre winemakers.

Don’t miss the chance to discover these two single-vineyard cuvées, benchmarks for the appellation. It’s hard to find this level of quality at such a price!

The 2023 White Sancerre Mainbré impresses with its clarity and precision, offering aromatic notes of lemongrass and white flowers. This wine has a clean, focused palate with a bright mineral edge that really brings out the terroir's energy. The limestone soils lend the wine its lively, fresh character. A true standout! Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee.

The 2022 Sancerre Red Mainbré presents perfectly ripened aromas of morello cherry and red cherry, delivered with remarkable finesse and vibrant tension. This Pinot Noir offers a fresh and pure expression, free of any jammy character. Instead, it showcases bright flavors with subtle hints of fine oak. A beautifully balanced and flavorful red, it is approachable now yet exemplifies the Loire Valley's renowned elegance and depth. Awarded 94/100 by the Selection Committee, this wine is a true standout.
