Château La Rabotine, nestled in Sury-en-Vaux, is a historic estate built in 1600 by notary Louis Rabotin, whose name it still bears. Over the centuries, it witnessed remarkable events, including the sheltering of priests during the French Revolution by the Grangier family. After passing through various hands, the château was reclaimed in 2010, bringing it back into the family and restoring its connection to the vineyards. The estate spans 12 hectares across 19 parcels, benefiting from Sancerre’s finest terroirs. The vineyards are planted on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone (“Terres Blanches”) and pure limestone (“Caillottes”), creating elegant, mineral-driven Sancerre Blancs, while the iron-rich clay-limestone soils produce powerful and generous Sancerre Rouge and Rosé. Driven by a deep respect for nature, the estate is HVE Level 3 certified and follows organic farming principles, reducing chemicals and preserving soil health. Every step, from vineyard management to winemaking, is guided by a commitment to sustainability and biodiversity, ensuring that heritage, terroir, and craftsmanship shine in every bottle.
