Tasting Notes
One of our customers' favourite Sancerre in a half bottle with a bit of age. The perfect wine to have in moderation as well as seeing where great wines such as these will develop into. Sancerre is one region (the most famous) in France that produces Sauvignon Blanc. Vacheron's style is slightly grassy and very mineral, which tends toward honeyed tones with a little age. - Chris L
Domaine Vacheron is one of Sancerre's elite properties, producing both white and red Sancerre wines of amazing purity and definition. The domaine has been completely transformed over to biodynamic farming with two young cousins, Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron, at the helm.
Domaine Vacheron is one of Sancerre's elite properties, producing both white and red Sancerre wines of amazing purity and definition. The domaine has been completely transformed over to biodynamic farming with two young cousins, Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron, at the helm. No synthetic material is used in the vineyard, harvests are carried out exclusively by hand, and the only fertilizer used is produced from the compost pile. Yields are kept extremely low. Having inherited some of the most coveted parcels in the appellation, the cousins are trying a Burgundian approach to Sancerre winemaking, with parcels being vinified separately and blends varying from year to year. At the domaine, Pinot Noir is not an afterthought, but a focus, and on soils just a couple of hours west of Burgundy, they are making grand, expressive bottlings from the varietal.
