User Reviews for Domaine Vacheron Sancerre
Add your reviewAppealing minerally nose of oaky papaya. Crisp citrus palate. High minerality overwhelms the hint of peach blossom. Delicate oaky finish. Well balanced and elegant but a bit rich for my taste in sauvigon blanc.
I just opened a bottle of this that I got in Canada, that had been impecacbly cellared here, and I think I just waited too long to oopen it, but after a full hour in the glass, it began to reveal layers of deep violet perfume, a touch of earth, and from the getgo was quite rich and silky from one of my favorite producers of Sancerre rouge. I think 2 years ago it wouldve been fatter, more vibrant aromatically. It wasn't oxised or remotely tired, just less expressive.

Robert Parkers Wine Advocate. A Sauvignon Blanc wine from Loire Valley in France. 2011 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre 750ml
This fresh, racy white exhibits a floral edge, backed by hints of talc, white peach and green fig. Light, but pure and persistent through the finish. Drink now. -JM Wine Spectator. A Sauvignon Blanc wine from Loire Valley in France. 2011 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre 750ml

Winemaker's Notes:
The Vacheron 2011 Sancerre smells and is juicily suggestive on the palate of ripe honeydew melon tinged with mint and borage. Silken in texture and satisfyingly low-key, it finishes with persistent sap and imposing ripeness, if relatively little complexity let alone dynamic interplay. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
