Well-balanced, vinous rosé.
Production
Julien and Clément identify in advance the plots of Pinot Noir that will be chosen to make their rosé. The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness by machine to facilitate loading straight into the press. This is a 100% rosé de presse as the brothers believe that gentle pressing is the only way to extract the delicate aroma and flavour components from just under the skins of the grapes.

Tasting notes
Raspberry pink, this delicious rosé is gently herbal, citrus and refreshing, and just a little wild in character, with a squeeze of fresh red cherry on the long finish. Clément describes this as being much more like a white wine in character than a typical rosé.

Meet the producer
Since inheriting Domaine du Pré Semelé from his father Rémy, Clément Raimbault, in partnership with his brother Julien, has transformed it into a rising star of Sancerre. Fastidious, verging on obsessive, he is driven to make the very best Sancerre possible from his family's 20ha estate. The vineyards lie on clay-limestone (mostly Kimmeridgian marls with some Portlandian limestone) near Maimbray, to the north of the village of Sancerre, and are carefully managed following the principles of reasoned agriculture. Although not the largest or most famous Sancerre producer, and possibly because of this, Clément's passion is supported by intricate winemaking skills resulting in wines that faithfully communicate their beautiful terroir.
