This is a great introduction to the style of cousins Jean-Dominique andamp; Jean-Laurent Vacheron, whose biodynamic domaine in Sancerre has become a new reference point in the appellation. Their holdings are largely planted on soils with a great deal of flint, and their wines always show a subtle, hugely appealing smoky character married to the fresh citrus flavors that are customary in classic Sancerre.

Citrus blossom, cocoa butter, lime zest, sage, rosemary and crushed gravel Creamy entry adding peach (fresh and canned) and grapefruit pith to flavors, then electric salinity and lime juice pop with a mineral finish bordering on white pepper

2019 Vacheron Sancerre - had this wine before didn’t seem to be as amazing as previous vintages lemon lime , gooseberry, good acidity - maybe it needs some old fashion laying down time

Vacheron's 2019 Sancerre Blanc is classy, polished and pedigreed through and through. A whole range of bright Sauvignon Blanc aromas and flavors race out of the glass. Citrus, sage, tomato leaf and white pepper all grace this taut, beautifully sculpted Sancerre from Vacheron. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2020)

A nice night cap. Very mellow and refreshing. Like a Wonka bar it is scrumptious.
