Domaine Vacheron Sancerre 2022 is a dry white wine made from biodynamically farmed Sauvignon Blanc in the Loire Valley. One of Sancerre’s most respected estates, Domaine Vacheron has been certified biodynamic since 2005 and is renowned for its precise, terroir-driven wines. The estate works with spontaneous fermentation and avoids fining or filtration to preserve purity. The 2022 vintage is vibrant and expressive, offering aromas of citrus zest, white peach, and flint. Light-bodied with crisp acidity and a long mineral finish, it is a benchmark expression of Sancerre’s famed silex soils.
Only just bottled before tasting, the 2023 Sancerre Blanc provides tension. It's not as serious or concentrated as in previous years, perhaps due to the naturally high-yielding vintage; it is a little dilute in both concentration and fruit flavors. The chalky finish is fresh and citrusy. It's a little disappointing.

Domaine Vacheron

Domaine Vacheron is a well-established Sancerre domaine justly celebrated for its high-quality, terroir-focused Pinot Noirs and Sauvignon Blancs. Established more than 120 years ago and now run by a new generation of vignerons - the forward-thinking cousins Jean-Dominque and Jean-Laurent Vacheron – Domaine Vacheron has been certified biodynamic since 2005.

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.
