Score 92/100 · Drink 2022-2029, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Mar 2021

Vacheron's 2016 Sancerre Belle Dame offers a beautiful ruby color with a dark core and garnet shimmer. It is peppery and fresh on the pure, refined and spicy nose that reveals ripe and stewed cherry and just-ripe berry aromas with leafy forest and some peppery notes. The 2016 is a coolish, fine, elegant, silky-textured and intense yet crisp Pinot Noir with the architecture of a flint stone terroir. This has a vertical, tight and concentrated structure with a serious tannin grip and very good length. It is still somewhat brittle yet food-friendly and finer after some hours of aeration. Tasted in February 2021.
