Domaine Vacheron
Les Romains Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc
Sancerre, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
The Vacheron family have been leaders in the appellation for practicing organics and biodynamics since the early 2000’s and generally follow non-interventionalist wine making techniques. Their dedication is evident in the beauty and expression of terroir in their wines. “Les Romains” is a single vineyard planted about 40 years ago on 100% Silex. Popped and poured; consumed over 2 days and it was delicious on both. In the glass, it appears a very pale straw color with medium viscosity. Medium+ intensity. Remarkably fresh with bright lemon-lime citrus with some melon and rocks. One the palate, silex, citrus and minerals with an uncanny steel-like texture. High acid. Long satisfying finish. An uncompromising blend of energy and elegance. It’s a wine you want to crush…but there’s a sophistication about it that makes you reflect on how damned good it is. Age-able? Undoubtedly! But it’s going to be hard to cellar something this good. Beautiful wine!

Feb 6th, 2019Pretty standard Sancerre nose - elderflower, lime zest, mild sweat, bright and aromatic. The taste is interesting - takes an interesting turn with a slight bitterness of dried wood chips and key lime rinds. Top tier acidity (sauerkraut) - mouth won't stop salivating, but there is enough sweetness for the light flowery, herbal finish to shine through - after 30 seconds I could swear I had a sip of St. Germain
