The most expensive Sauvignon Blanc in Sancerre—only 4,000 bottles annually from methods little-changed since the French Revolution. Edmond Vatan (1929-2022) was a mythic figure with close to 60 vintages. Thirteen generations since 1789 in Les Monts Damnés—Sancerre's greatest site. Méthode ancienne: late harvest, native yeast, century-old 600-liter foudres, unfiltered bottling when barometric pressure is perfect. Exceptional aging potential of 20-30 years.

More about Edmond Vatan

Edmond Vatan was Sancerre's living legend—nearly 60 vintages under his belt, working alongside the Cotat brothers and Claude Thomas in the old-school, hands-on way that made the region's wines mythic. His Clos la Néore, crafted from a single precious hectare, became the stuff of sommelier obsession. His daughter Anne carries the torch now, making every bottle count.
