From largely flint-rich soils, the 2005 Vacheron Sancerre offers an enticing nose of mint, white currant, flowers and honey. Hints of citrus rind and peach fuzz and a fine sense of minerality render the juicy palate impression invigorating and lead into a finish also marked by some overt wet stone character.
