Domaine Vacheron is a fourth-generation family estate in Sancerre founded around 1900, when Maurice Vacheron began tending vines on the silex-rich soils outside the village. His son Jean was the first to specialize in winemaking, and Jean's sons Denis and Jean-Louis built the domaine's reputation across both Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir before handing stewardship to cousins Jean-Dominique and Jean-Laurent Vacheron, who converted the estate to certified organic and biodynamic farming and expanded holdings to approximately 45 hectares. All fruit is hand-harvested with native yeast fermentations, and the estate's village Sancerre blanc is sourced from the fault line between silex and caillottes soils.
