Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Les Romains
Sancerre, France
About this product
Les Romains is Vacheron's single-vineyard flagship from silex soils. Biodynamically farmed, barrel fermented with extended lees contact — the house style leaning toward Burgundian weight and texture while retaining Sauvignon Blanc's citrus-herbal notes.
