Chavignol "Clos Néore" Sancerre, Dom. E. Vatan - 2018

Item # 46267 1.5

Since the 2008 vintage, Edmond's daughter, Anne Vatan-Foucault, has taken over winemaking and administration of the domaine, and the results continue to be spectacular. Vinification takes place in old, old barrels. Lime and grapefruit rind, caraway, musk melon, and honeydew dominate on the nose, which are mirrored on the palate. Notes of white pepper, gooseberry, and chalky alkaline punch up against a bittersweet edge, lending a slight sizzle to the faintly warm but impressively persistent finish. This wine is built for a long future in the cellar.

Novices, take note: Cabernet Franc is a great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscadet is unparalleled as a companion to shellfish, and Cour Cheverny is the best white wine appellation you’ve never heard of. As diverse as Loire wines are, one day soon you'll know your Melon de Bourgogne from your Romorantin.

Sauvignon Blanc

Few varietals have spawned as bizarre a list of descriptors as Sauvignon Blanc. Believe it or not, “cat pee” is in fact a complimentary tasting note, associated with some of the best bottlings. (It’s a somewhat odd way of pointing out herbaceousness in the wine.) Cat pee aside, Sauvignon Blanc (sometimes called "Fumé Blanc" in California) is a bit of a chameleon in terms of style, and quite utterly at the whim of the winemaker. Some are fermented in barrel, others in stainless steel. Some...
