Domaine Vacheron

While Sauvignon Blanc accounts for about three-quarters of the domaine’s vineyard holdings, Pinot Noir is a keen focus for the cousins, who as well as farming a small plot within the famous Les Romains vineyard, have begun acquiring plots in across other coveted lieux-dits in the appellation, including Guigne Chèvre, En Grands Champs, Paradis and Chambrates.

Burgundian winemaking (with a focus on single vineyards and subtle variations in terroir), very low yields and the special silex-based soils of the majority of the family’s vineyard plots are all factors in Domaine Vacheron’s fine output. These are wines of extraordinary purity and longevity which seem to get better with every new vintage.
