Sancerre Les Romains, Domaine Vacheron 2018

Tasting Notes

From a 50-year-old, south- and west-facing vineyard where Jurassic limestone meets Eocene silex, the 2018 Sancerre Les Romains 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. Impressive though more warm rather than cool. Tasted in February 2021.

A wonderful cloud of silken fruit on the palate draws you in then spits you out at the end in an unexpected, flint-derived punch of a finish. Its power and length, redolent of floral and lemon pith, are impressive - as are all Vacheron's wines, to be honest. Drinking Window 2019 - 2025.
