"Terre de Maimbray" Sancerre Rose 2025

Nestled in a valley surrounded by chalk hills nearly mountain-like in steepness, the tiny hamlet of Maimbray is a humble looking village, forming right angles with neighboring Chavignol and Verdigny. The soil here is almost pure Terres Blanches - fossilized Marne/Kimmeridigian limestone and clay. The yields are low, about 50 Hl/Ha, with excellent natural ripeness and concentration of Sauvignon/mineral character. Here Pascal and Nicolas Reverdy bootstrapped their operation from the ground up, year by year, having begun with almost no capital. Following the death of Nicolas, his widow, Sophie, has joined Pascal and his wife, Nathalie, in the enterprise and works full-time in the vines with Pascal. Now Pascal’s two sons, Victorian and Benjamin, apprenticeships at Domaine Rousseau and Romanée-Conti respectively, are bringing their talents to the domaine.
