Sancerre Clos la Neore 2017 - Edmond Vatan

Tasting notes

"A distinctive style, with a light hazelnut note and hints of wet straw behind the gooseberry, lemon zest and green pear flavors. Silky in texture and multi-layered, this is intriguing. Durian and white pepper elements mark the lingering finish."

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Domaine Edmond Vatan – Sancerre, Loire
Clos la Néore: the ultimate expression of Sauvignon Blanc, a legendary rarity from Chavignol.


A legendary estate in Chavignol
Located in the village of Chavignol, Domaine Edmond Vatan is a cult reference in the Loire. Founded by Edmond Vatan, it is now run by his daughter Anne Vatan-Foucault, continuing a tradition of minimalist excellence.


An exceptional terroir: Clos la Néore
Clos la Néore is a one-hectare vineyard on the southern slopes of the Monts Damnés. Kimmeridgian limestone soils, 40-year-old vines, low yields and ideal sun exposure contribute to a wine of rare intensity and depth.


Natural, artisanal winemaking
Harvesting is done by hand at full ripeness. Fermentation and ageing occur in old neutral oak barrels, without fining or filtration. One racking, no fuss — just pure wine.


Wine style
Clos la Néore is sharp, precise, and layered. Aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, and wet stone. The palate is vibrant and textured, with crystalline acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish.


Vintages to watch
