Sancerre Guigne-Chevres, Domaine Vacheron 2019

Tasting Notes

From a northeast-facing vineyard on jurassic (Oxfordian) limestone that was harvested between September 12 and October 4, the 2019 Sancerre Guigne-Chèvres is clear, pure and flinty on the bright and refreshing yet deep and complex nose that delivers oyster and lime/lemon zest notes along with discreet but lovely passion fruit aromas and a strong flint stone tone in the background. On the palate, this is an exciting, finessed, sustainable and vivacious Sancerre from an 84-acre vineyard planted in 1983. The wine is rich and intense but also pure and salty and develops a long, tensioned, tightly woven and classic finish with mouth-watering salinity and grippy phenolic structure. This is probably the finest Guigne-Chèvres I have had (or at least I've met the wine at a perfect moment). Tasted in February 2021.
