Sancerre blanc AOC 2024 1500ml Magnum

Wine description for Sancerre blanc AOC 2024 1500ml Magnum from Domaine Vacheron

Colour & Appearance

Luminous golden yellow with brilliant green reflections – a wine that reveals its youthful freshness and vibrancy right from the glass.

Nose

Classic Sancerre in its purest form: green apple, citrus and gooseberry dominate initially, before the characteristically cool herbal notes unfold with aeration – nettle, green tomato and green pepper. This aromatic restraint is not a shortcoming, but an expression of aristocratic finesse. Minerality and precision take centre stage, not opulent fruit.

Palate

Straightforward, herbaceous-fresh and carried by an invigorating acidity structure. The minerality continues on the palate and lends the wine that tension which invites you to keep drinking. Nothing superfluous, nothing obtrusive – just pure, unadorned elegance from Sauvignon Blanc.

Finish

Clean, refreshing and characterised by persistent citrus freshness. The minerality lingers long and leaves a crisp, drink-inducing impression.

Terroir & Origin

Domaine Vacheron ranks among the most renowned producers in Sancerre. Their vineyards on the classic limestone and flint soils (terres blanches and silex) of the Loire produce wines that prioritise terroir over technique – authentic interpretations of these great appellations.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Sauvignon Blanc, vinified with the respect for the grape variety and terroir that characterises the House of Vacheron. The magnum bottle also promises slower, more harmonious maturation.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The ideal companion to goat’s cheese (naturally!), grilled asparagus, herb salads, scallops, seafood or a light vegetable quiche. Excellent also with sushi or ceviche.

Special Features

The magnum bottle makes this Sancerre the perfect companion for longer table gatherings – a wine that encourages conviviality and where the second (or third) glass tastes even better than the first.
