Domaine Vacheron has been a certified biodynamic property since 2005 and thrives under the helm of cousins Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron. They produce premium wines from both inherited and purchased plots in the Sancerre appellation. They take a Burgundian approach to winemaking, by vinifying according to parcels and blending according to vintage. Their vineyards are primarily on Silex (flint) which is found in the eastern part of the appellation and in Pouilly Fume. Their basic Sancerre bottling comes from vines planted on flint and limestone.
Tasting Notes
“Jean-Dominique Vacheron’s white 2015 Sancerre shows a very clear and elegant white fruit aroma with elderflowers on the nose. Full-bodied, very elegant and fruit intense, but also with mineral and phenolic grip, it has a long and powerful finish. This is remarkably good, perfectly balanced Sancerre. The 2015 reflects the warm and sunny vintage as well as the elegant and complex Vacheron style. The aromatic aftertaste reveals a nice mango aroma, as well as cassis and refreshing mineral flavors.” – 90 points, The Wine Advocate
