Vacheron Sancerre Blanc 2023

Description

100% Sauvignon Blanc

Established 1900. Sourced from hillside vineyards around the town of Sancerre, with a mix of chalk and flint (silex) soils. About 20% of the blend is wine from a selection of single-vineyard plots, which gives more complexity (also some wood influence, as the domaine’s single-vineyard Sancerre Blanc wines are aged in larger wooden casks). Vines between 30 and 50 years.

A pleasant wine that is elegant and direct on the nose. It exhales a beautiful ripeness with aromas of white flowers, yellow fruit, citrus fruit and minerals. On the palate it is frank, full, mature and elegant. It is a wine in which the fruit and white flowers dominate but where these are compensated by its refreshing minerality and acidity. Its finish is persistent and fresh.
