In a small hamlet named Amigny, Jean-Claude and his son Antoine farm 25 acres of Sauvignon Blanc. Their land is partly made of “terres blanches” vineyards located closer to the village of Bué and partly of “Caillotes” parcels closer to Verdigny. The terroir of the fifteen villages that make up the area of Sancerre is particularly unique in that the soil varies, so the wine flavors are slightly different. There is flint, gravel, chalky and marlstone soils, all imparting different flavor profile to Sancerre. Domaine Raffaitin-Planchon gets the best of each soil for its Sancerre Blanc.
Delicate aromas of white flowers and orange blossom, with a touch of exotic fruit on the palate. Lively and fresh with a concentrated citrus finish, ripe and mineral, very round and long. Excellent pairing with goat cheeses and fish.
