Description
Sancerre Blanc Domaine Vacheron, Loire, France, 2024
Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc, unoaked, 30 year old vines grown on a combination of flinty clay & chalky limestone soils, certified organic and biodynamic production since 2004, manual harvest, 45hl/ha yield, natural yeast fermentation for 4 months, lees aged, bottled unfined & unfiltered
Producer Tasting Note:
Fabulously aromatic nose of ripe, white peaches, floral notes of hawthorn & acacia, and a mineral flintiness. Concentrated gooseberry fruit flavours, all carefully balanced by a rich smokiness and steely dry palate with a lingering salinity. A mineral, elegant and long finish.
A hilltop town, Sancerre lies to the east of the Loire region, facing Pouilly-Fumé opposite the river. Known for its racy, mineral, and pungent expression of Sauvignon Blanc, this is textbook Sancerre from probably the best producer in the region. A family-run domaine with cousins Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron in charge.
Food Match: The classic pairing with white goats’ cheese, this wine is also a brilliant partner to smoked salmon, poached trout and oysters.
