Description
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Minimum 40 year old vines. The Vacheron cousins own 1 hectare of vines in the lieu-dit of Le Paradis. Their plot is on a steep south-facing slope with shallow limestone soils. The soil is so thin and poor that the vine roots grow deeply into fissures in the bedrock below. Hand-harvested. Fermented on indigenous yeasts in large, upright wooden fermentation tanks (from 25-36HL). Racked, then aged for one year in same wooden tank. Unfiltered.
Aromas of orange and lemon zest, wildflowers. Vibrant and precise, with a nervous tension throughout. Stone fruit, sea-salt, more citrus. Le Paradis is bright and intense; fresh and elegant with an intensely aromatic and slightly flinty nose. Round, pure and fresh on the palate, it is a dense Sancerre, with a compact structure, persistent fruitiness, with a long, crisp, mineral finish.13% ABV
