Fully certified organic and biodynamic, the estate is renowned for showcasing Sancerre's distinct soil types through precise single-vineyard bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Les Romains\" is one of the estate's most celebrated lieux-dits, defined by pure silex (flint) soil over a limestone base. Flint soils absorb and retain heat, giving Sauvignon Blanc a signature smoky, struck-flint mineral intensity and laser-like acidity that rivals top Chablis or Pouilly-Fumé. The 2024 is hand-harvested from biodynamically farmed vines, fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and aged in neutral French oak casks and foudres on its fine lees, yielding an exceptionally focused white bursting with zesty lime, white peach, pink grapefruit, crushed chalk, and a streak of gunflint smoke that drives a long, mouthwatering, saline finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourced from an iconic silex single vineyard, delivering unmatched flinty minerality and tension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified biodynamic farming and low-intervention cellar work preserve maximum site purity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplosive aromatics of citrus peel, lemon verbena, white flowers, and struck match.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichly textured on the mid-palate from lees contact, anchored by a piercing, linear acid spine.\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, avoiding an over-chill that mutes the flinty aromatics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecant for 20 minutes to let the tight mineral reduction dissipate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into all-purpose stems to focus its high-toned citrus and smoky perfume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with fresh oysters, goat cheese crostini with Chèvre de Sancerre, pan-seared sea bass, or grilled octopus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47842383560758,"sku":"SOMM2609-VCH24SANCRMNS-750","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2024DomaineVacheron_SancerreLesRomains.png?v=1790117299","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2024-domaine-vacheron-sancerre-blanc-les-romains","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
