Domaine André Vatan's Sancerre 'Les Charmes' 2022 is a benchmark white Sancerre, showcasing pure Sauvignon Blanc with clarity and finesse. André Vatan has run this small family domaine since 1988, and has since become known for his meticulous attention to detail across vineyard and cellar alike. The wine is crafted mainly from fruit grown on silex, a flinty, limestone-free soil that imparts powerful, exotic, perfumed character, with around 20% from limestone soils contributing smokiness and complexity. On the nose, classic elderflower and cut grass scents lead into a lean, nervy palate edged with citrus and underpinned by crisp minerality and wonderful delineation.
