Domaine Vacheron 2015

Sancerre, Upper Loire, Loire, FranceThe Vacherons are counted among Sancerre’s elite because of their tireless approach to terroir and biodynamic viticulture. Old vines date back generations and the farming is painstakingly precise – think Burgundy. The estate white is a mix of chalk and flinty hillside vineyards around the town of Sancerre now 30 to 50 years old. The nose and attack is ripe and pure with a touch of lively white pepper and grapefruit zest with flinty chalky notes on the nose. Bright citrus drench pears with a shake of sea salt for complexity. Oysters anyone? Will hold through 2020.Tasted: 18 May 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
