Edmond Vatan Sancerre Clos la Neore, Loire, France 2022 1.5L
Sancerre Clos La Néore 2022 is one of the Loire Valley's most legendary white wines and a benchmark for world-class Sauvignon Blanc. Produced from a tiny, steep south-facing vineyard in Chavignol, Clos La Néore is crafted in extremely limited quantities and has achieved near-cult status among collectors. The 2022 vintage reveals extraordinary purity with layers of citrus zest, white peach, green apple, crushed stone, white flowers, and flinty minerality. Powerful yet impeccably balanced, the palate combines remarkable concentration with electric acidity and an exceptionally long, saline finish. A profound, age-worthy Sancerre that showcases the extraordinary terroir of Clos La Néore and the meticulous craftsmanship that has made Edmond Vatan one of France's most revered producers.

"The 2022 Sancerre Clos La Néore (magnum) is another rich, dense wine. Dried orchard fruit, chamomile, marzipan, sage and white flowers build effortlessly in the glass. Like so many vintages, the 2022 really benefits from aeration. As that happens, the wine shows more freshness, cut and verve to play off the natural richness of the vintage. Both magnums I have tasted so far have been exceptional." Vinous 96 |
