There are great Sancerres, and then there’s Clos La Néore. Made by Edmond Vatan (and now his daughter Anne), this wine has achieved near-mythical status—not because it’s flashy, but because it’s pure. From a single parcel on the Monts Damnés slope, this is Sauvignon Blanc stripped down to its most precise, mineral, and expressive form.

The 2021 is classic Néore: citrus peel, crushed stone, and a kind of tensile energy that feels more like Chablis Grand Cru than any typical Sancerre. There’s no new oak, no bells and whistles—just chalky depth, crystalline focus, and quiet intensity that builds with each sip.

And in magnum? Forget it—this isn’t just wine, it’s a time capsule. Cellar it for a decade or two if you’ve got the patience, or open it now and join the cult.

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.
