Vacheron are masters of red Sancerre, and this wine lives up to the billing. There are impressively ripe fruits, flavors of the brightest berries and a sweet, pure character, emphasized by the acidity and underlined by wood.——R.V.(8/1/2010)—— 90

Dominated by fresh, bright, red cherry flavors, this is a deliciously fruity wine, structured with light tannins and added complexity from nutmeg, and a smoky, meaty edge.——R.V.(9/1/2009)—— 88

Ripe, earthy wine, with cherries, rhubarb and pronounced acidity. The tannins are young, touched by wood. This is a mineral style, somewhat austere, but still young. Serve lightly chilled.——R.V.(9/1/2008)—— 87
