\n2019 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Blanc — <\/strong>\u201c\u2026 opens with a clear and highly attractive ripe peach aroma with coolish flint stone notes. Full-bodied and intense, with lingering salinity and sustainable structure, this is an already accessible Sancerre with a long and grippy finish.\u201d \u2013 Wine Advocate<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
2018 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Blanc \u2018Chambrates\u2019<\/strong> — \u201c\u2026 opens with a clear, refined and aromatic nose with ripe pear and delicate flint stone notes. Round, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a rich and full-bodied but perfectly balanced Chambrates with very fine tannins and lingering salinity.\u201d \u2013 Wine Advocate<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
2018 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Blanc \u2018Guigne-Ch\u00e8vres\u2019 —<\/strong> \u201c\u2026 opens with a dense and concentrated bouquet of dried white fruits, crushed stones and flowers. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and intense yet crystalline, pure, fresh and salty Sancerre with fine tannins and a long, intense and iodine-inflected finish. Powerful, tannic and complex, this is an impressive wine to be cellared for a decade or two.\u201d \u2013 Wine Advocate<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
2018 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Blanc \u2018Le Paradis\u2019<\/strong> — \u201c\u2026 opens clear and with aromatic, ripe fruit on the slightly stony nose. Full-bodied, round and intense on the palate, this is a rich, intense, very dense and long yet remarkably elegant Sancerre with a long and well-structured finish. It is pretty attractive already now.\u201d \u2013 Wine Advocate<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
2018 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Blanc \u2018Les Romains\u2019<\/strong> — \u201c\u2026 opens with dried white fruit and iodine aromas on the intense and concentrated nose. Very elegant, salty and complex on the palate, this is a powerful and full-bodied yet finely structured and elegant Sancerre with a long and promising finish. The wine is clearly a 2018 representative but has a long life ahead.\u201d \u2013 Wine Advocate<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
2017 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Rouge \u2018Belle Dame\u2019<\/strong> — \u201c\u2026 opens remarkably aromatic and ripe, with stewed or baked fruit aromas on the nose, tending toward plums rather than berries and a touch of caramel. With more aeration, the wine gets more precise, more flinty and piquant and reveals fresh cherry and potted strawberry aromas. Silky on the palate opening, this is a full-bodied, rich intense and persistent Pinot Noir with impressive concentration, freshness and finesse.\u201d \u2013 Wine Advocate<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
2016 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Rouge \u2018Belle Dame\u2019<\/strong> — \u201c\u2026 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.\u201d \u2013 Wine Advocate <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/robert_parker_new_logo68.jpg” alt=”vinous logo” title_text=”robert_parker_new_logo68″ show_in_lightbox=”on” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”4.9.7″ hover_enabled=”0″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_module=”2353″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.87″ custom_padding=”5px|5px|5px|5px” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#d46d32″ border_style_all=”solid” use_border_color=”on” border_color=”#d46d32″ border_style=”solid” hide_prev=”off” hide_next=”off”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
