Close


The Raimbault brothers represent the current caretakers of their family's 42 acres in Sancerre, a lineage that extends beyond 9 generations of traditional winemaking practices in the epicenter of the Loire Valley's most heralded appellation. While most Sancerre imbibers have learned that the Sauvignon Blanc is responsible for the wines' citrusy flavors, less are aware that the hugely-popular Pinot Noir grape is used for red or rosé Sancerre. This tasty rosé has all the enticing red cherry aromas you'd expect from a medium-bodied Pinot, bolstered by the fresh strawberry and currant flavors common to our favorite rosés. Though light enough to enjoy with simple fish dishes or silken sashimi, the Raimbault rosé has enough texture and fruit to pair well with lime-marinated flank steak, and mesquite-grilled merguez served with plenty of spicy mustard.
