Wow, what a treat to taste after a decade in the cellar…almost Chateau Rayas-like! Still fresh, and youthful with intense notes of Morello cherry, perfectly ripe raspberries, crunchy cranberries and red plum with well integrated accents of Darjeeling tea and aromatic potpourri with savory notes of Morel mushrooms. Enjoy over the next 2-3 years for maximum enjoyment. – November 2020

Domaine Vacheron Winery

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.
Great-grandfather Maurice Vacheron tended a few vines back when Sancerre was but a
stop on a village road. His son, Jean, was the first of the family to specialize in producing
wine, paying particular attention to the influence of terroir on Sauvignon Blanc. Jean’s
sons, Denis and Jean-Louis, solidified the Vacheron name in Sancerre, showcasing the
family’s talent with not only Sauvignon Blanc but also Pinot Noir.

Today, Denis’ son, Jean-Laurent, and Jean-Louis’ son, Jean-Dominique, have taken the
estate to a whole new level of quality, championing biodynamic viticulture and selecting
singular vineyard parcels that the family has observed for generations (and planted with
their own hands) to bottle as single-vineyard wines, with the goal of showcasing the
heights that Sancerre can reach.
