REVERDY "TERRE DE MAIMBRAY" SANCERRE ROSE 2012

A family domaine, Pascal (pictured right) took over the running of the estate in 1985, their father entering a well-earned retirement. He was subsequently joined by his younger brother Nicolas in 1993, and together the siblings set about improving and expanding their domaine, developing an admirable reputation in the process. Their future was bright, but it was all torn asunder when tragedy struck in 2007. As the two brothers worked together in felling a tree, Nicolas was struck by a falling branch; the injuries were apparently severe, and Nicolas died later in hospital.

The domaine is based to the north of Sancerre in Maimbray, a small hamlet not far from Verdigny and Chavignol. Having started out with 3.5 hectares, Pascal and Nathalie now have 14 hectares under their direction, this being 11 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and 3 hectares of Pinot Noir, the latest addition to their vinous portfolio having been 1.5 hectares of the latter variety acquired in 2009. The vines, with an average age greater than 25 years, are located in Maimbray and in nearby Sury en Vaux, on the steep chalk hills which typify the region.
