Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Rouge '22

Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Rouge is a standout Loire Pinot Noir grown on chalk and silex soils and crafted with the same precision and care as the estate’s acclaimed whites. Hand-harvested and aged in large foudres and neutral oak, it offers a refined, Burgundian sensibility with bright red berry fruit, wild herbs, spice, and a touch of flint. Elegant and medium-bodied, it balances silky tannins with vibrant acidity and a savory core. Critics praise its purity and finesse—94 points (James Suckling), 91 (La Revue du Vin de France), and 90 (Vinous)—making it a compelling, age-worthy alternative to red Burgundy at a more accessible price. Chill slightly and enjoy now or cellar through 2031.
