Description

Product description for Vacheron Sancerre blanc “Les Romains” AOC 2023 (bio)

The Les Romains vineyard is Domaine Vacheron’s most classic site, planted with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. It lies on the eastern flank of Sancerre and is dominated by flint. The wine is fermented and aged for ten months in a mixture of Stockinger foudres and barriques.

Colour

Medium straw yellow with a slight green tinge

Nose

This single-vineyard Sancerre has a subtle aroma of grass and hay, green stone fruit, gooseberries including their stalks, and green elderberries. There are also hints of boxwood, apple, and lime zest. The wine appears fresh and still somewhat shy.

Palate

On the palate, Les Romains is light and airy, with lively acidity and minerality, a slight silkiness, plenty of juicy green fruit, and notes of garden herbs and crushed rock. The Sauvignon Blanc has a pleasantly fine creaminess and becomes grippy and slightly smoky towards the finish.

Vinous

Score: 89

The 2023 Les Romains is a white-fruited, round style with restrained fruit. It is somewhat lacking in concentration but has some fine, crackly acidity. The 2023 is a little creamy and gently textured on the mid-palate before the flint holds the wine tight and with a frame of grip.
