The winemaker

The history of the estate


Maurice Vacheron is the founder of the estate, consisting of a single hectare at its origins in the early 20th century. His son Jean will then develop the vineyard, with the acquisition of three additional hectares of Pinot Noir and Sauvignon plots. He will also do a lot for the recognition of the AOC Sancerre and he will be president of the winegrowers of the appellation.
From 1965, his sons Denis and Jean Louis took over the management of the estate and continued his work, further increasing the area of vines and producing excellent white and red Sancerre vintages.

The producer


Jean Laurent Vacheron obtained organic and biodynamic farming certification in 2004. The estate now has 47 hectares, with two distinct terroirs consisting of limestone and flint soils. This is a particularity linked to the presence of the geological fault on which the town of Sancerre is built and which separates the vineyard into two distinct parts.
The grape varieties are essentially composed of Sauvignon Blanc, with vines that are on average 20 years old, and Pinot Noir, some of which were planted in the 1960s.

The wines


Domaine Vacheron les Romains 2016 is a white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc planted on flinty soil. It has a beautiful pale, clear color and offers a fruity aromatic bouquet dominated by citrus and caramelized peach. It is a mineral and powerful wine that will go wonderfully with sweetbreads, shellfish or white meat.

Belle Dame Vacheron 2017 is a light-colored red wine made with 100% Pinot Noir from flinty terroirs characterized by the presence of siliceous, sandy loam, sandstone and limestone pebbles. Griotte aromas dominate and it pairs perfectly with Provençal stuffing or sautéed veal parmentier.

Domaine Vacheron Sancerre blanc 2019 is an elegant, tonic and straightforward organic wine. It is made from grape varieties grown on limestone and flint terroirs. The color is clear and the nose is very fresh with aromas of white flowers, flint and citrus. It offers a beautiful persistence in mouth and fine and elegant flavors.
