Note : RVF 16/20
"Les Romains, without that hint of 'hotness', is now more easily delivered, without losing its strong, coated personality." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - RVF). A very fine Sancerre with a nose of citrus fruit and caramelized peach... Very tasty!

About the domain :
"The first Sancerre estate to be certified biodynamic since 2006. Jean-Dominique Vacheron, who is more involved in viticulture, works in duo with his cousin Jean-Laurent, an oenologist who cut his teeth with the great Burgundy estates. While their red Sancerre wines are often the talk of the town, their highly mature whites are not to be outdone. They reveal themselves to be mineral, with a fine consistency in the powerful cuvée Les Romains, from one of Sancerre's finest, sunniest terroirs, an expression of flinty clay. Vinification takes place in wooden vats, which enhances the tightness of Sauvignons grown on flint. Extraction and ageing of the reds lead to a certain rigidity in their youth, rather like the wines of Domaine Trapet in Burgundy. In any case, they should be kept for at least two to four years. The domaine is closing in on its second star.
