Tasting notes
This 2020 Sancerre Chambrates is a ripe and succulent style with floral notes and pure apple and pear fruit flavors. Alcohol warmth (14.5%) detracts from the overall impression and clips the finish; although, the serving temperature was a little higher than ideal when tasted in the Vacheron's cellar.

The 2020 Sancerre Chambrates is a clean and pure wine with excellent focus. It's already open, offering richness and roundness. The clay-based soil provides appealing palate breadth while the finest of textures coats the mouth. Mouthwatering acidity combines with appealing pear and apple flavors on the precise finish.
