Pré Samelé Sancerre Blanc Mainbré is a beautifully balanced expression of Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Vibrant citrus notes of grapefruit and lime shine through, complemented by delicate herbaceous nuances that add complexity and depth. The palate is fresh and precise, with a lively acidity that enhances its crisp character. A distinctive saline minerality lingers on the long, elegant finish, making this a perfect example of refined, terroir-driven Sancerre. Ideal for those who appreciate purity, freshness, and a touch of sophistication in their white wine.
Julien and Clément manage 20 hectares of vines across 60 different parcels, three quarters of which are Sauvignon Blanc and one quarter Pinot Noir. Soils are primarily the classic ‘terres blanches’ clay-chalk, a heavier soil which gives the wines a ripe fruit character, and some 'caillottes', a form of limestone. A very modern, well-equipped, stainless steel cellar allows them to control the temperature of the wines during fermentation and later storage in tank prior to bottling to retain the freshness of the fruit characters. The grapes for this cuvée are a blend from all of the Raimbault's parcels of Sauvignon Blanc, and the wine is aged in stainless steel for ten months on its lees.
