PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Coteaux du Giennois (formerly Côteaux de Gien) is the appellation title for red, white and rosé wines from 14 parishes around Gien. This town lies between Orléans and Sancerre in the Loire Valley wine region of France.*
Located in the heart of the village of Sury-en-Vaux (5 km from Sancerre), Domaine Raimbault-Pineau was formed by a family of Sancerre winemakers that have been producing wine for over 3 centuries.*
In 1946, Lucien Raimbault acquired a well-known vineyard; its terroir was composed of chalky clay and enjoyed extraordinary sun exposure. The Raimbault family has continuously worked this land, and today the Domaine has 40 separate plots of AOC Sancerre vines, all located around the village of Sury-en-Vaux (La Montée de St. Romble, La Côte de la Pointe, La Côte de Sury). The domaine also makes Pouilly-Fumé as well as Coteaux du Giennois. All of the vineyards are worked in the traditional manner, with great care and attention paid to the vines.*
Vinified on stainless steel and aged on the lees, the 2021 Domaine Raimbault-Pineau Coteaux de Giennois has aromas of tropical and citrus fruits followed by a palate resplendent with flavors of lime zest, honeysuckle, wet stone, and baking spice that unfold layer by glorious layer on the palate. Vibrant acidity brings the wine to a long finish.
