2023 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre

Domaine Vacheron stands out as one of the top properties in Sancerre, crafting both white and red Sancerre wines with exceptional clarity and precision. Under the leadership of two young cousins, Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron, the domaine has fully embraced biodynamic farming practices. They refrain from using any synthetic materials in the vineyard, conduct hand-harvesting, and rely solely on fertilizer derived from compost. They intentionally keep yields low to enhance quality.
With access to prized vineyard parcels, the cousins adopt a Burgundian approach to winemaking in Sancerre. They ferment grapes from individual parcels separately and create unique blends each year. This approach allows them to explore the diverse terroirs of Sancerre and produce wines that reflect the nuances of each site.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a faint tinge of green around the edges and a watery hue. Aromas of green apple and lime mix with some green herb, subtle herbaceous gooseberry and wet stone notes. Nicely rounded in the mouth, lime and green apple fruits show good intensity over a wet stone infused back drop of fresh herbs and minerals. Finishes dry with a lick of fresh acidity and a long stony mineral laced aftertaste.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
