Who makes it?

Domaine Vacheron is an esteemed Sancerre producer, celebrated for its exceptionally pure and well-defined white and red wines. This elite property has been at the forefront of a significant transformation, driven by cousins Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron. Since 2005, they have championed biodynamic farming practices across their vineyards, a commitment that has earned them certification from Biodyvin.  

The estate currently cultivates 34 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and 11 hectares of Pinot Noir, strategically located in prized vineyard sites throughout the Sancerre appellation, such as Guigne Chèvre and Paradis. Each individual parcel is vinified separately, allowing for the creation of nuanced and expressive blends that reflect the unique characteristics of each vintage. While Sauvignon Blanc is a cornerstone of their production, Vacheron also produces remarkable and expressive Pinot Noir, showcasing the potential of this varietal in the Sancerre region, despite its proximity to Burgundy.

How is it made?

The Vacheron cousins own 1 hectare of vines in the lieu-dit of Le Paradis. Their
plot is on a steep south-facing slope with shallow limestone soils. The soil is so
thin and poor that the vine roots grow deeply into fissures in the bedrock below.
The grapes are hand-harvested before fermentation with natural yeasts. The wine then ages in old oak foudres for 12 months.

What does it taste like?

Le Paradis is an explosively aromatic wine, dense on the palate with a broad mineral character kept in check by a sinuous acidity that keeps things lively.
