Edmond Vatan, Sancerre Clos La Neore, 2021 (1.5L) so082525 burgundy sale Compared to Brovia’s Ca’ MiaThere are great Sancerres, and then theres Clos La Nore. Made by Edmond Vatan (and now his daughter Anne), this wine has achieved near mythical statusnot because its flashy, but because its pure. From a single parcel on the Monts Damns slope, this is Sauvignon Blanc stripped down to its most precise, mineral, and expressive form. The 2021 is classic Nore: citrus peel, crushed stone, and a kind of tensile energy that feels more like Chablis Grand Cru
