Roger & Didier Raimbault Sancerre 2024 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

Roger & Didier Raimbault Sancerre A.O.C. from Verdigny in the Loire Valley is a bone-dry, medium-bodied 100% Sauvignon Blanc blended from two distinct soil types: terres blanches, a calcareous clay over Kimmeridgian limestone that gives the wine weight and a silky texture, and caillottes, a limestone and gravel terroir that lifts the aromatics and adds freshness. On the nose it's precise and fragrant, with white grapefruit, fresh gooseberry, flint, and a cool saline marine note. On the palate it's taut and focused, with lemon curd, green apple, crushed chalk, and a long, mineral-driven finish with bright, mouthwatering acidity. Winemaker Didier Raimbault joined his father Roger in 1996, and together they work 51 parcels across 17.5 hectares using a gravity-flow winery integrated into the hillside. The Raimbault family has been growing vines in Verdigny since the mid-17th century, now in its tenth generation. Drink it now through 2031. Pour it alongside oysters on the half-shell, where the wine's saline mineral edge and bright acidity are a Loire Valley pairing made in heaven, or try it with clam linguine where the wine's citrus notes cut cleanly through the olive oil and garlic.

Sancerre food pairings: oysters on the half-shell, mussels Portuguese, clam linguine.
