Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Guigne Chevres 2017

Sauvignon Blanc  |  France

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

If you know Sancerre, you KNOW Vacheron. If you don't, you need to get some to experience this brilliance. Great-grandfather Maurice Vacheron tended a few vines back when Sancerre was but a stop on a village road. Today, Sancerre and Vacheron in particular are hotter than ever. We wrestled away just five cases of the freshly landed Guigne Chevres, our favorite single vineyard of the vintage in the range.

2017 is a warm vintage, and while yield was generally very low, quality is high. The Guigne Chevres site is well-suited for the warmth with north-facing exposure and a layer of Silex (flint) over limestone and clay. This vineyard just killed it in '17! Biodynamic farming helps highlight the terroir and singularity of the vineyards tended today by grandsons Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique.

The laser-focused, fantastic Guigne Chevres has not been rated yet, but those in the know are well aware that it will disappear long before any press comes along!! INTENSE, TANGY, RACY, MINERALLY BRILLIANCE!

ONLY 5 CASES TO SELL, SADLY --- good luck!! While it lasts..!

About the Producer

The Vacherons are without question Sancerre's leading winemaking clan. From the family's pioneering work in identifying and exploiting the region's top terroirs to their leading position in biodynamic viticulture today, there are few artisans in Sancerre as exacting or as respected. Great-grandfather Maurice Vacheron tended a few vines back when Sancerre was but a stop on a village road. His son, Jean, was the first of the family to specialize in producing wine, paying particular attention to the influence of terroir on Sauvignon Blanc. Jean's sons, Denis and Jean-Louis, solidified the Vacheron name in Sancerre, showcasing the family's talent with not only Sauvignon Blanc but also Pinot Noir. Today, Denis' son, Jean-Laurent, and Jean-Louis' son, Jean-Dominique, have taken the estate to a whole new level of quality, championing biodynamic viticulture and selecting singular vineyard parcels that the family has observed for generations (and planted with their own hands) to bottle as single-vineyard wines, with the goal of showcasing the heights that Sancerre can reach.
