2024 Sancerre, Domaine de la Rossignole

Bright, graceful and effortlessly pure, the 2024 Sancerre from Domaine de la Rossignole is Sauvignon Blanc in perfect voice. The nose sings with aromas of white peach, gooseberry and lemon zest, underpinned by delicate notes of wild herbs and flint. On the palate, it’s crisp and finely tuned with lively citrus and green apple wrapped around a spine of chalky minerality and fresh-cut grass. There’s a lovely balance between fruit and freshness, leading to a long, clean finish that hums with energy and finesse. It’s everything you want from Sancerre: elegant, poised, and quietly captivating.

For when: the table’s set and sunlight’s pouring through the glass.
Pairs with: goat’s cheese, oysters, or asparagus with lemon butter.
If this wine were a feeling, it’d be the first deep breath of spring.

Domaine de la Rossignole is a small, family-run estate rooted in the rolling limestone hills of Bué, one of Sancerre’s most celebrated villages. The Raimbault family has farmed these slopes for generations, producing wines that capture the essence of the appellation: precision, minerality, and timeless charm.

Working with sustainably grown Sauvignon Blanc, the family employs gentle pressing, cool fermentations, and maturation on fine lees to preserve texture and purity. The 2024 vintage, shaped by a mild spring and sun-kissed summer, delivered fruit of exceptional balance and aromatic clarity. The result is a Sancerre that perfectly reflects its origin: crisp, expressive, and beautifully alive, a true conversation between Loire limestone and the Sauvignon vine.
