Domaine Vacheron
Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc
Gun flint, passion fruit, melon, awesome acid and just a tiny bit of a nutty character from the age. Really good.

Mar 7th, 2020Lovely. Fully ripe juiciness balanced by citrus tartness and a mineral verve. Note to self: don't forget about Sancerre.

1 person found it helpfulJul 25th, 2014This is a lovely Biodynamic SB from one of the more modern Sancerre producers. A lovely melange of modern and classic wine making. This wine has a pale green color, a lovely aroma of fresh grade, citrus, grapefruit, minerality most probably thanks to the chalk terroir, medium fresh body, lovely acidity, long mineral elegant finish. My score 88, drink to 2016 perhaps longer

Aug 21st, 2015So vibrant when tasted at the winery in downtown Sancerre (2012), but it didn't travel that well.

Jul 2nd, 2015Les Romains. 2012. Great balls of acid. Nose is spring + clothes out on the line and wild flowers. Front palate minerally and cushy - part way thru end of mid acid attack kicks in and after that finish its big ole ball of underripe Granny Smith acid. Great persistence (albeit a little mouth numbing). Gonna let this lady open up over a few days - would definitely seek this out again and let it have a handful of (or many more!) deserved years layin' down 😎
