Domaine Raffaitin-Planchon Sancerre

A True Expression of Sancerre's Terroir

Tasting Notes

Domaine Raffaitin-Planchon Sancerre is a crisp and expressive Sauvignon Blanc that beautifully captures the essence of this renowned Loire Valley appellation. The nose is fresh and aromatic, with vibrant notes of citrus fruits like lemon and lime, complemented by subtle herbal and floral undertones. On the palate, the wine is lively and well-balanced, with refreshing acidity that lifts the flavours of green apple, gooseberry, and a touch of minerality. The wine’s crisp, clean finish makes it a delight to drink, with lingering citrus notes that invite another sip.

Perfect Serve

Serve chilled at 8–10°C to showcase its vibrant character. This Sancerre is a perfect companion to seafood, such as oysters, shellfish, or grilled white fish. It also pairs beautifully with goat’s cheese, light salads, and vegetable dishes.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Produced by Domaine Raffaitin-Planchon, a family-owned estate located in the heart of the Sancerre region, this wine is crafted with care from hand-harvested grapes. The estate’s vineyards are situated on the region’s renowned flint-rich soils, which impart the distinctive minerality and complexity that Sancerre is famous for. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit character, followed by a period of maturation on its fine lees to add depth and texture.
