Pascal et Nicolas Reverdy, Sancerre Rosé, Terre de Maimbray, Loire, France, 2024

Producer Profile

Founded in 1985 by Pascal Reverdy, the winery began as a small, family-run estate in the hamlet of Maimbray, within the Sancerre appellation of France’s Loire Valley.

In 1993, Pascal’s brother Nicolas joined the business, helping to grow the domaine’s reputation for quality and terroir-driven wines. Together, the brothers cultivated vineyards rooted in tradition, with a strong commitment to sustainable viticulture and precision in winemaking. Tragedy struck in 2007 when Nicolas was killed in a vineyard accident. In the wake of his death, his widow Sophie stepped in to help run the estate, alongside Pascal and his wife Nathalie. Their combined efforts ensured the continuity and spirit of the domaine, honoring Nicolas’s legacy while guiding the estate into a new chapter.

Viticulture

Grown on clay limestone soils on the slopes around the village of Maimbray, the vines are carefully tended using sustainable practices to express the terroir’s purity and freshness.

Winemaking

Grapes are gently and directly pressed, witout maceration in order to preserve the freshness in mouth. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels (15%) and stainless steel tanks.

Tasting Note

A lively nose brimming with delicate vine peach and a whisper of spice. On the palate, this wine is generous and harmonious, its ample body beautifully balanced by a crisp, refined freshness.

Food Matching

A versatile rosé that pairs beautifully with japanese dishes, grilled prawns, chicken skewers, or salted tartlets. Also delicious with a strawberry tart.
