The Vacherons are without question Sancerre’s leading winemaking clan. From the family’s pioneering work in identifying and exploiting the region’s top terroirs to their leading position in biodynamic viticulture today, there are few if any artisans in Sancerre as exacting or as respected. The Vacheron family’s vineyards combine equal portions of flint and chalk soils, which give this pure Sauvignon Blanc its nervous edge and juicy core of citrus fruit.

such a consistent wine in every vintage ~ see my 2021 notes ~ but will say 2022 is a little more subtle ~ don’t drink it too cold!

Classic Sancerre and a great price at Costco. Bought a half case. Tart grapefruit, great acidity, wet rock. Yep, I drank it young but I have more!

Minerals, bright crisp acidity up front, opened up very nicely after some time decanted. Smoothed out to much more wet slate.
