The small village of Maimbray, just to the north of Sancerre itself, is home to both Domaine Roblin and to Domaine du Pré Semelé. In fact the Roblins are just across the road from the Raimbaults and share a similar story of two brothers – 4th generation Matthias and Emile in this case – taking over from their father and implementing new ideas to move the family Domaine forward.
he Enclos de Maimbray is a single vineyard on Portlandian clay and Kimmeridgian chalk. High density planting of 7000 vines per hectare and average vine age of 25 years brings wine with great intensity. Yield between 50 and 60 hectolitres per hectare. Light fining and filtration before bottling. Gentle pneumatic press followed by settling before temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel at 15-20°C for 3 weeks. Kept on fine lees for 6 months with periodic lees stirring to provide body and texture.
Tasting note: Notes of fresh citrus, blackcurrant leaf, a fine minerality and a lightly chalky texture lead into a long, quite rounded finish. Full of flavour, well structured with an impression of richness yet it still retains a charming elegance.
Food match: As an aperitif, as well as with seafood, fish, white meat, and goats cheese.
