Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Chambrattes 2019

Double 94s, from one of the planet’s finest terroirs on earth to grow Sauvignon Blanc/ Chambrates is located on a plateau above Le Paradis on limestone and red clay soils. This is a generous example of Sancerre, due to its terroir with more of a citric quality to the fruit, a richer texture, and a mineral finish.

The Vacherons, without question, are Sancerre’s leading winemaking clan. From the family’s pioneering work in identifying and exploring the region’s top terroirs to their leading position in biodynamic viticulture, there are few if any artisans today in Sancerre as exacting or as respected. The estate’s peerless older vines, planted and cultivated by generations of family members, are cared for fastidiously. First come, first served..!

PAIRING IDEAS: Make your own Caesar salad from scratch -- the BEST olive oil, garlic, and anchovy. Mash that into a paste, add a raw egg yolk or two, squeeze a half lemon, add more oil, and mix. Then, add shredded parm (the best you can get) until the texture is right. Add more oil or cheese, pepper as you prefer, and...EAT!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Well, since we are still high from seeing American Utopia (David Byrne) last night, we suggest the fun-loving “Little Creatures” album from Talking Heads.
