**Edmond Vatan
Sancerre “Clos la Néore” 2020 – Magnum (1500ml)**
Description
Clos la Néore is one of the Loire Valley’s most iconic single-vineyard expressions, crafted by the legendary Edmond Vatan estate. The 2020 vintage combines purity, mineral drive, and quiet intensity. It shows the unmistakable character of old-vine Sauvignon Blanc grown on Sancerre’s flinty, chalk-rich soils.
In magnum format, the wine carries more depth, more freshness, and greater aging potential. It is a benchmark example of how focused, understated craftsmanship can produce something both timeless and unforgettable.
Tasting Notes
• Lemon zest, grapefruit, and green apple
• White flowers and fine herbal tones
• Flinty minerality with clean, precise structure
• Long, saline finish with tension and clarity
Food Pairing
Perfect with oysters, clams, sashimi, goat cheese (especially Crottin de Chavignol), grilled fish, and light vegetable dishes. The wine’s bright structure elevates simple and delicate flavors.
Winery
Edmond Vatan produces only one cuvée, all from the legendary Clos la Néore slope. Farming is traditional, yields are low, and production is extremely limited. Bottles are highly sought after for their purity, elegance, and long-term aging ability. The magnum format is especially rare.
