Rather than blending across sites, the estate bottles several of its top parcels separately, letting each soil type speak for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Le Paradis,\" meaning \"the paradise,\" is a steep, south-facing single vineyard set on thin, stony Oxfordian limestone known locally as caillottes. Because the topsoil is so shallow, vine roots are forced deep into the limestone bedrock, and the site's extreme drainage and solar exposure yield a remarkably delicate, floral, and ethereal expression of Sauvignon Blanc. The 2024 was hand-picked, gently pressed, and fermented with native yeasts before aging in large, neutral wooden casks, balancing sun-ripened orchard fruit with vibrant limestone freshness in an aromatic bouquet of white peach, honeysuckle, lemon blossom, and crushed limestone chalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-vineyard expression from steep, rocky caillottes limestone slopes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptionally pretty and floral, showing a softer, more ethereal side of Sancerre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayers of ripe pear, lemon blossom, acacia honey, and chalky mineral energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautifully integrated acidity that glides weightlessly across the palate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe chilled between 48°F and 52°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo decanting required; open and pour directly from the bottle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into all-purpose stems to capture its delicate floral scent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn excellent partner for sea scallop carpaccio, trout meunière, or fresh chèvre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47842383822902,"sku":"SOMM2609-VCH24SANCPRDS-750","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2024DomaineVacheron_SancerreBlanc_LeParadis.png?v=1790121147","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2024-domaine-vacheron-sancerre-blanc-le-paradis","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
