Producer: Domaine Vacheron
Region: Sancerre, Loire, France
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
“This rich wine also shows great style and balance. Dense white fruits with a young herbal element are helped by tangy acidity. The wine has potential, so wait to drink until 2023. Organic and biodynamic.”
“Most producers can only dream of an “entry-level” wine that’s this good. The 2020 Sancerre is a touch flinty on the nose right now, and offers pure fruit reminiscent of gooseberry, nettle and boxwood. This has a certain ease to it, conveying a mellow texture within its light-bodied frame.”
Winemaker Notes:
“A vibrant, 100% organic/biodynamic Sauvignon Blanc from a mix of flint and chalk soils in the heart of Sancerre. Aromas suggest grapefruit zest and gunflint; in the mouth, the wine is pure and fresh, with plenty of mineral energy and citrus-inspired flavors. This is classic Sancerre—limpid and clean, with lots of freshness and lovely energy.”
