Edmond Vatan

Sancerre “Clos la Néore” 2016 – Magnum (1500ml)

Description
Edmond Vatan is one of the most legendary names in Sancerre, known for producing a single cuvée from a single slope: Clos la Néore. The 2016 vintage in magnum format shows remarkable purity, precision, and depth. It is a benchmark expression of Sauvignon Blanc grown on flinty soils, offering clarity and effortless structure.

With air, the wine moves from citrus and white flowers to herbal notes and a fine mineral line. The magnum format adds even greater freshness and aging potential, making it ideal for collectors or long-term cellaring.

Tasting Notes
• Lemon zest, grapefruit, and green apple
• White flowers, light herbs, and crushed stone
• Clean acidity with beautiful tension
• Long, saline finish with remarkable finesse

Food Pairing
Excellent with shellfish, oysters, goat cheese (especially Crottin de Chavignol), grilled fish, and vegetable dishes. Its bright structure elevates delicate flavors.

Winery
Edmond Vatan produces only one cuvée in extremely small quantities, all from old vines on the exceptional Clos la Néore site. Known for traditional farming and minimal intervention, the wines are highly sought after for their purity and longevity.
