Domaine Vacheron is one of Sancerre’s greatest estates. The wines are consistently delicious and somehow manage to please both wine geeks and newbies year after year. Simply put, sauvignon blanc doesn’t get much better than this. Le Pavé is an organic wine from a small plot of some of Vacheron’s best land, with fresh flavors of tart apple, lemon, and salt. Drink it whenever you’re thirsty and want to treat yourself.
The 2019 Sancerre Le Paradis presents itself as exceedingly fresh, straighter. The Sauvignon Blanc is bright and already powerful on the nose. Beside many citric notes from lime over lemon to grapefruit a breath of flint and smoke shows up, but only as a coating, not as a formative element. In addition, there are chalky-chalky notes, a little green apple and herbs.
What one can only guess at in the fragrance becomes obvious on the palate. It is the pure power and intensity of this very mineral, purist, punchy and cool. Sancerre. The Le Paradis appears pure, bright and resonant on the palate. At the same time, the energy is bubbling and the Sauvignon Blanc seems as clear as a mountain stream. Besides the citric fruit, there are iodine-salty notes, which of course provides additional drinking flow. Only on the palate a little bit of cassis and elderberry becomes recognizable, but this remains very fine as well as moderate and is offset with a very slight sweetness. The Le Paradis pushes forward unflinchingly and on and on into the long, straight Finals.
Les Romains is a flint terroir located in the eastern part of Sancerre. Here the soils have a strong resemblance to the terroir across the Loire river in Pouilly-Fumé. There is a definite smoky and flinty quality to the wine that is backed with a piquant and delicate citrus fruitiness reminiscent of grapefruit.
A hilltop town, Sancerre lies to the east of the Loire region, facing Pouilly-Fumé opposite the river. Known for its racy, mineral, and pungent expression of Sauvignon Blanc, this is textbook Sancerre from probably the best producer in the region. Fabulously aromatic nose, concentrated gooseberry fruit flavours, all carefully balanced by a rich smokiness and steely dry palate. A mineral, elegant and long finish.
The classic match to white goats’ cheese, this wine is also a brilliant partner to smoked salmon and poached trout.
A fine Pinot Noir that surprises by an intense bouquet of red fruits blending juicy notes of raspberry, freshly crushed strawberry and vanilla. The palate has a balanced structure and a lovely concentration. The finish is clean, precise, pleasantly underlined by more ripe fruit, delicately followed by salty notes which admirably recall the continental origins of this PinotNoir. Can be kept for between 5 and 10 years.
The village of Menetou-Salon is located south-west of Sancerre and is surrounded by approximately 370 hectares of vineyards. Traditionally there was no viticulture here, but people mainly cultivated apples. The rich who settled in Menetou after the Middle Ages planted their own vineyards here and over time the world discovered the quality of this neighbor of Sancerre. The Menetou-Salon appellation dates from 1959. White, red and rosé wines are produced here.
A remarkable expression of continental Sauvignon combining freshness and a rich texture. In the glass, the wine develops a complex and delicate bouquet of citrus, then exotic fruit such as passion fruit, mango and lychee. Exceptional length that perfectly highlights the minerality of this delicious Sauvignon.
