Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Rosé 2022
The Vacherons are without question Sancerre’s leading winemaking family. From their pioneering work in identifying and exploring the region’s top terroirs to their leading position in biodynamic viticulture, there are few if any artisans today in Sancerre as exacting or as respected. The estate’s peerless older vines, planted and cultivated by generations of family members, are cared for fastidiously. Made from 100% Pinot Noir the Vacheron Sancerre Rosé is sourced from a selection of estate vines from a southeast facing vineyard with a mix of loamy, clay-rich soils full of ancient seashells. This special, rare terroir is known as ‘Marne de Crétacée’. Aromas of red berries, blood oranges, sea salt lead into the palate which is tangy and lively, with great balance. The finish is clean, with light pepper notes.
