Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Guigne Chevres 2023

The 2023 Guigne-Chèvres underscores Vacheron’s finesse with high-altitude, limestone-rich parcels in Sancerre, where thin, stony soils and windswept exposures yield Sauvignon Blanc of piercing clarity and lift. The wine opens with vibrant citrus, green pear, and white flowers, carried by a racy mineral line that reflects the vineyard’s chalky, hillside terroir. Subtle herbal and crushed-stone nuances add detail, while the vintage’s natural freshness keeps the palate taut, linear, and quietly intense. Elegant, energetic, and thoroughly site-expressive, this is a refined, shimmering Sancerre that captures the finesse of one of Vacheron’s most delicate lieux-dits.

Critical Acclaim

92 Vinous

The 2023 Guigne-Chèvres is a powerful, tender style with a delicious, chalky texture. This is fine, round and long.

94 Wine Enthusiast

A smoky aroma opens this intensely herbal wine. Fruitiness is subsumed into the texture, flinty character and considerable acidity. Still gathering itself together, the wine is likely to be best from 2020.

92 James Suckling

A precise, lively, balanced and vertical Sancerre. The nose shows notes of sliced ​​apples, biscuits, stones and wild herbs. It's medium-bodied with bright acidity. Broad and laser-focused, with a long, luscious, stony finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
