Tasting notes
A succulent, driven and elegant white. It offers notes of passion fruit, gunpowder and warm herbs on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity. Lively with a sharp character on the palate, yet it remains juicy, agile and comforting. Delicious finish with excellent length. Drink or hold.

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.

Certified biodynamic, Domaine Vacheron is one of the star names in Sancerre. The estate crafts Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from single sites, using low yields and Burgundy-inspired winemaking to produce exceptionally pure, age-worthy expressions of the region that are some of its best.
