ORGANIC. An elegant combination of silk and mineral tension. Aromas of Meyer lemons, lime zest and crushed oyster shells on the nose. The mouth is supple and long, with flavors of lemon, mint and white peaches. A long finish suggests more crushed chalk and sea salt. Aged for 10 months in upright wood tanks.
2010 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Blanc "Guigne Chevres"
5.25.2012
The finest wines from Sancerre can (and do) age in step with the finest
white Burgundy—and a well-aged Sancerre is a pleasure that no serious
cellar should be without. This new single-vineyard Sancerre from Domaine
Vacheron is a wine for which we wish we could speed up time. Steely and
pure today, with a rich core of white fruit and chalky essence, “Guigne
Chèvres” is completely organic/biodynamic and only a handful of cases
were produced in 2010, a year of very low yields yet extraordinary wine.

Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Blanc 2009
France
/
Loire Valley
One of the finest and most complex Sauvignon Blanc wines we’ve tasted in a while, and the great tragedy is there just so little of it. Chalk dust, white pepper, pear skins and poached fruits mix on the angular and fresh nose. Calling any wine “perfect” is bold but this one fits the bill. Very limited!

Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Blanc Les Romains 2008
France
/
Loire Valley
A sensational bottling from one of the Loire’s top organic/biodynamic estates; “Les Romains” every vintage is the sine qua non of Sauvignon Blanc and in 2008 this great family estate pulled out all the stops. Lush, juicy aromas of sautéed pears and honeysuckle blossoms saturate the nose. There’s more structure and more flesh than is usual here...
