Tasting notes

Bright straw yellow. The nose is deep and slow to unfold, moving from white peach and lime peel to chamomile, wet chalk and a touch of beeswax. The palate is broad and textured, with real weight across the middle, yet the acidity stays taut and drives a long, mineral finish with a salty, almost briny edge.

About this wine

Chambrates is one of the single-vineyard bottlings that Domaine Vacheron has used to show how varied Sancerre really is. The parcel sits on terres blanches, the deep Kimmeridgian marl that gives the appellation's broadest and slowest-developing whites.

The Vacheron family farms biodynamically, harvests by hand and keeps intervention to a minimum. Here the juice is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in large oak casks and vats, a long élevage on fine lees that builds texture without adding any obvious wood character.

Serious, structured Sauvignon Blanc that rewards decanting and a few years of patience.
