DOMAINE ROGER et DIDIER RAIMBAULT Sancerre 'Vieilles Vignes' 2014

The 2014 ‘Vieilles Vignes’ Sancerre from Roger and Didier Raimbault is simply sensational. This comes from 35-50 year-old-vines vines which are deeply rooted into soils composed of clay and Kimmeridgian limestone on steep hillsides. These mineral rich soils are evident in this wine as it instantly opens with crushed stones and smoke followed by fresh aromas of gooseberry, lychee, lemon oil and hints of honeysuckle. On the palate this possesses a remarkable rich texture, which is cut through beautifully with vibrant acidity and gorgeous minerality. It continues to impress all the way through the finish with its striking balance and precision. This is drinking absolutely fantastic right now. (Best 2016-2021) - July, 2016 (JD)
