Domaine Vacheron
Le Paradis Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc
Sancerre, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
Served double blind. The wine appears a very pale, golden color with medium viscosity. Medium+ intensity and quite attention grabbing. Notes of pear, white peach, citrus fruit, minerals, white flowers and some hard to describe non-fruit characteristics that I was having a hard time pinning down…something herbaceous? On the palate, again pears, white peach, and limestone minerals. High acid. Long and satisfying finish. I called Chenin Blanc from Vouvray mostly because it had a very Loire feel to it…but I didn’t love my pick…mostly because I didn’t get the lanolin thing that I usually get from Chenin. Totally forgot about the possibility of Sancerre from a producer like Vacheron. Wow. And now that the glass is empty I’m getting a faint whiff of pyrazines. This was really good and now I need more Vacheron in my life!

Domaine Vacheron, as per usual, does not let down. I am more impressed with the price/quality levels of the AVA Sancerre for its crisp freshness but intrigueing simplicity. But this is truly "Turn't Up like a Mutha Truckah". Slate Chalkrock and bright fruit tones of white cherries. Mineralogy and acidity roided out on this. Crisp yet rich. Bomb bomb level 5
