Description

2013 DOMAINE VACHERON SANCERRE

“How floral and delicate a Sancerre can be is proved by the regular 2013 Sancerre of the Domaine Vacheron, which is rather a dream than an unmistakable expression of Sancerre… You can easily spend the evening with this flinty, Demeter-Certified AC wine… extremely transparent, purely mineral, refined and – remarkably long. Initially there is a fascinating chalk/flint and chamomile flavor on the nose, whereas later jasmine and elderflower notes emerge from the glass along with a dash of lime juice and grapefruit and a perfume of white fruits and blossoms. The palate starts zesty, with an amazingly austere minerality that makes you believe the wine’s only ingredients are fossils and acidity… you should not miss this extremely well defined Flint-Sancerre as a true and distinctive expression of the terroir at a reasonable price.” 92 Points, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate, Drink 2015 – 2020
