Sancerre from the Vacheron cousins. Biodynamic farming, Burgundian precision, and the kind of purity that's defined this appellation for generations. Sauvignon Blanc with real structure and finesse, not the flashy fruit you might expect. A wine that rewards attention.
Winemaker Notes
For generations, the Vacheron family has defined the benchmark for Sancerre. Today, cousins Jean-Dominique and Jean-Laurent Vacheron carry that legacy forward with vision and precision. Burgundy remains their guiding influence, and at their best, the wines reach a level of finesse and depth reminiscent of Grand Cru bottlings. Each of their wines reflect a shared thread of crystalline clarity, elegant structure, and striking minerality. “Le Pavé” stands among their most compelling expressions—soaring with notes of flint, crisp green apple, pear, white peach, and a lift of lemon zest. Persistently salty and refined, it is Sancerre at its most expressive—and Sauvignon Blanc at its zenith. 95 Miranda Franco
About the Producer
Domaine Vacheron is one of Sancerre’s elite properties, producing white and red Sancerre of amazing purity and definition. The Domaine has been completely transformed over to biodynamic farming (certified by Biodyvin in 2005) with two young cousins, Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron, at the helm. No synthetic material is used in the vineyard, harvests are carried out exclusively by hand, and the only fertilizer used is produced from the compost pile. Yields are kept extremely low.
