Domaine Raimbault-Pineau, Sancerre Blanc, 2024
Classic Sancerre from a family that has farmed Sury-en-Vaux for centuries. Domaine Raimbault-Pineau works some 40 plots scattered around the village just north of Sancerre town, drawing on all three of the appellation's signature soils — caillottes (rocky limestone), terres blanches (clay-limestone with marine fossils), and silex (flint). The 2024 is the house Sancerre Blanc, pressed gently, cool-fermented in stainless to preserve fruit and snap, and bottled without distraction. It's a textbook expression: pale straw, bright citrus and green apple, white flowers, a clean herbal lift, and the flinty, mineral finish that makes good Sancerre such a reliable pour. A benchmark village white at home with everything from oysters to Wednesday-night roast chicken.
