Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Rouge Les Marnes 2023
Details
95 Points | V
“The swoon-worthy 2023 Sancerre Rouge Les Marnes is only the fifth vintage that’s been bottled since 2010 — the rule is that if it’s not better than their Belle Dame Sancerre, it doesn't get its own bottling.
Notes of plum, cherry, spices and cloves make this feel like Christmas in a glass. The tannins are so relaxed yet finely particulate, like a chalky waterfall. While ripely fruited, it remains fresh with a stream of acidity. The conclusion is long and seductive.” - James Suckling
Porthos Team Notes:
“Silky and rich, this fascinating Pinot Noir reveals vivid cranberry and red cherry layered with savory spices, wild mushroom and beautifully integrated oak that is seamless. Firm, fine-grained tannins give the wine impressive structure and a distinctly Burgundian character. Fresh and savory on the finish to enjoy today (decant prior to 2028), it should gain even more complexity with several years of bottle age. Bravo!”
