Product Description:
Purity, precision and flinty mineral tension define the 2024 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Blanc, a compelling expression of Sauvignon Blanc from one of the Loire Valley’s most revered biodynamic estates. Cultivated across limestone and silex soils, the wine vividly communicates its terroir through crystalline structure and aromatic clarity.
Domaine Vacheron’s meticulous organic and biodynamic farming allows the fruit to reach optimal ripeness while preserving natural freshness and energy. In the glass, the wine shows a pale straw hue with green reflections, signaling its vibrancy and youthful character. The nose reveals lifted citrus, green orchard fruit and delicate white flowers layered over a distinctive gunflint note that is emblematic of top Sancerre. On the palate, it is taut yet expressive, propelled by bright acidity and a saline mineral thread that adds both depth and definition.
The 2024 vintage is noted for its balance between elegance and quiet concentration, offering immediate appeal while possessing the structure for short-term cellaring. Seamlessly combining finesse with regional authenticity, this Sancerre is an exceptional partner for fresh seafood, chèvre, or simply thoughtful conversation.
