Domaine Vacheron

The Vacherons are without question Sancerre’s leading winemaking family. Their Sauvignon Blanc is largely planted on silex soils, which is a clay and limestone base, topped with flint. This type of soil gives the wines a particular minerality and saltiness, as well as a trademark smoky quality. The white cru wines are all aged for 12 months in large, neutral French oak barrels. All Vacheron wines are now certified biodynamic (Demeter).
