Château Edmond De La Fontaine

Edmond Vatan

Clos La Néore Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Thanks to 2 wine store owners that I became good friends with over the years I’ve had the opportunity to have a good stash of Vatan. For me Vatan is one of those wines that adheres to the cliche, “ there are no great wines just great bottles”. In this instance it was a great bottle. Intoxicating aromas of lychee, lime and florals. One of those wines you’re happy just to smell. There is no disappointment on the palate. Beautiful balance and texture, nothing out of place. Layers of concentrated fruit; mango, green almonds, star fruit and lemons. Ripe fruit that is fresh and managed by the wonderful acid. A finish you never want to end. The only flavor missing, which I often find in Vatan, is “spearmint”. — 21 days ago

@Jan de Weerd When you have a moment read some of the notes, you will see VERY favorable reviews are very common. If I recall fellow poster @Conrad Green called Vatan the Raveneau of Sancerre. He was spot on IMO

GREAT pull! I think I finally finished my only stash (2002) Vatan last year.
