Description
An Atlantic breeze whispers its history: thus was born the dream of making this Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Chambrates, the fruit of an obsessive quest for mineral purity, of a family that has been interpreting the Sancerre soil like a silent score for generations. The Vacheron Sancerre Chambrates vineyard - a unique parcel of fossil-rich limestone soils - was for years observed with respect until, in a bold decision, it was decided to vinify it separately. Here, the Sauvignon Blanc achieves a raw and elegant expression, without embellishment or artifice. The continental climate, with cool nights and mild days, provides natural tension, while biodynamic viticulture - practised with almost ascetic precision - becomes the common thread between soil and wine. There are no shortcuts, just a faithful interpretation of the place.
Winemaking
The grapes of Vacheron Sancerre Chambrates are harvested by hand, with almost ceremonial respect, and gently pressed to preserve their character. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, with no corrections or additions. The wine then rests on its fine lees for several months, gaining structure and depth without losing agility. It is then aged in oak for about 12 months, adding volume and subtle nuances, before bottling with minimal intervention.
Taste
Vacheron Sancerre Chambrates expresses itself with cutting finesse. On the nose, the first impression is one of purity: lemon zest, white flowers and a salinity reminiscent of wet stone. As it breathes, notes of grapefruit, faint jasmine and an almost volcanic smokiness emerge. On the palate, it is crystalline, with a fluid, electric texture. The acidity is sharp, but perfectly integrated, and guides a deep, tense, uncompromising mineral profile. The finish is dry, long, marked by chalk, dried herbs and a lingering freshness that invites the next sip.
