Domaine Vacheron
Having inherited some of the “most coveted parcels in the appellation”, cousins Jean-Dominique and Jean-Laurent Vacheron have developed Domaine Vacheron into “one of the most respected estates in the region” in the eyes of Joel Payne (Vinous), primarily through taking a Burgundian approach to Sancerre winemaking.
This elite Sancerre property became certified biodynamic in 2005 and due to this work, they have seen fantastic results in their wines with the amazing purity and definition capturing the hearts and minds of the lovers of the finest wines from the Loire Valley.

Vinous (95)The 2022 Guigne-Chèvres is sophisticated and suave and made with very smart use of oak. This wine is all about its texture rather than its aromatics, which, while ripe and offering substance, is elegant and effortless. A wine that has been allowed to do its thing. |

Vinous (92)Usually the Vacheron reds spend a year in bottle before release, but the 2020 Sancerre Rouge tasted so good early on that Jean-Laurent Vacheron released it without the extra age. It's very pale ruby and rather seductive, offering a round, silken and incredibly elegant style. Undeniably Pinot Noir with its attractive floral and red fruited perfume, alongside savory notes and tea leaf characters. It has a lovely chalky coating and finely textured tannins that will leave you licking the inside of your mouth. Unforced and charming but my only quibble is the rather warming dab of alcohol right at the finish. |
