Description

This Sauvignon Blanc offers an enticing bouquet of ripe white peaches, delicate floral aromas, and flinty minerality. On the palate, vibrant gooseberry fruit is complemented by a touch of smokiness, leading to a steely, dry finish with saline and mineral nuances. Sourced from 30-year-old vines rooted in a blend of flinty clay and limestone soils, this unoaked wine is crafted with meticulous care—hand-harvested at low yields, naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts over four months, and aged on the lees before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Domaine Vacheron, a benchmark producer in Sancerre, is renowned for its purity-driven wines. Under the guidance of cousins Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron, the estate has fully embraced biodynamic farming, eliminating synthetic inputs and relying solely on organic compost. With a commitment to minimal intervention and low yields, they bring a Burgundian sensibility to Sancerre, vinifying individual parcels to highlight the distinct character of their exceptional vineyard sites.
