Grapes are hand and machine
harvested from 30 year old Sauvignon Blanc vines within a 22 hectarevineyard on the hill of St Andelain
on a mix of Silex and Kimmerigian clay. The estate undertakesdisease and pest control measures by
maintaining natural balance ("lutte raisonnée") and works the soilin a traditional way. Individual
parcels are vinified separately. The grapes are gently pressedpneumatically. Prior to fermentation
in stainless steel tanks, the must is naturally clarified by coldstabilisation and some of the grapes
are macerated on the skins for a short period to maximise flavourcomplexity. Either wild or selected
yeasts are used, depending on conditions - indigenous yeasts arebelieved to add more character. The
fermentation is cool and slow over 3 weeks and the wine remainson the fine lees. The gravity fed
cellar is on two levels and all temperature controlled. Linty and herbal, this is a
concentrated wine yet with real elegance, complexity and power.Best served chilled with shellfish,
grilled white fish or chicken and soft cheeses or on its own as an aperitif. Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans

Julien and Clément manage 20 hectares of vines across 60 different parcels, three quarters of which
are Sauvignon Blanc and one quarter Pinot Noir. Soils are primarily the classic ‘terres blanches’ claychalk, a heavier soil which gives the wines a ripe fruit character, and some 'caillottes', a form of
limestone. A very modern, well-equipped, stainless steel cellar allows them to control the temperature
of the wines during fermentation and later storage in tank prior to bottling to retain the freshness of the
fruit characters. The grapes for this cuvée are a blend from all of the Raimbault's parcels of Sauvignon
Blanc, and the wine is aged in stainless steel for ten months on its lees.
