The 2023 Les Romains highlights Vacheron’s mastery of silex-rich soils, sourced from one of Sancerre’s most distinctive terroirs where flint and limestone meet to produce Sauvignon Blanc of striking precision and mineral drive. The wine shows taut citrus, pear skin, and white flower aromatics layered with the smoky, gunflint edge that is the hallmark of this parcel. The palate is finely etched and energetic, with saline brightness and a firm, stone-infused spine that keeps the fruit focused and pure. Elegant, linear, and quietly powerful, this is a beautifully sculpted expression of silex-driven Sancerre in a fresh, vibrant vintage.
