Tasting note
- Colour & Appearance
- Pale, sparkling golden yellow with lively green reflections – a wine that already promises freshness and energy in the glass.
- Nose
- The nose is cool, precise and aristocratic. Green apple, citrus, green gooseberry and grapefruit form a finely structured aromatic framework of great elegance. With air, additional layers unfold: nettle, green tomato and a hint of green pepper lend the wine a characterful, herb-driven depth. Throughout, a vibrant, almost electric minerality is present, unmistakably redolent of Sancerre.
- Palate
- On the palate, the tension of the nose continues consistently. The texture is lean and lively, the acidity refreshing without harshness. Herbal freshness and a clear, saline minerality carry the wine across the palate – a wine that entices you to drink without exhausting. Light yet substantial, dry yet juicy.
- Finish
- Long, cool and characterised by persistent minerality. The finish closes with fine citrus freshness and a subtle herbal note – precise to the very last moment.
- Terroir & Origin
- Domaine Vacheron counts among the most reliable addresses in Sancerre. The domaine manages its vineyard sites in the central part of the Loire according to biodynamic principles and expresses the flint and limestone terroir of the appellation with great care. The 2024 reflects a vintage with cool ripeness and pronounced freshness.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- Pure Sauvignon Blanc, vinified for freshness and terroir expression. No oak, no distraction – the wine speaks clearly and directly.
- Food Pairing Suggestions
- An ideal companion to a goat’s cheese board – the classic pairing par excellence. Equally convincing with grilled asparagus with herb vinaigrette, ceviche, oysters or a fresh herb risotto. Also a perfect pleasure as a terrace wine.
- Special Features
- Domaine Vacheron has been one of the reference addresses of the appellation for decades and operates consistently biodynamically. This Sancerre embodies what the Loire stands for: elegance, precision and the unmistakable voice of terroir.
