DOMAINE ANDRÉ VATAN
APPELLATION: SANCERRE
About this producer:
André Vatan took over the helm of his family’s vineyard when his father unexpectedly passed away in 1988. The winery has a collection of about 9 small buildings that have the appearance of a rural hamlet, this the neighbors lovingly refer to as “Vatanville”. It’s very neat and tidy, in keeping with André’s character as he is almost obsessive about his attention to detail. From the clean well organized cellars, to the stakes of his neatly aligned vineyards, everything is perfect. There are four vineyards, 10 hectares total, all located around the winery, nine tenths of production is focused on Sauvignon Blanc, the remaining 10% on Pinot Noir, which yields a bright lively red & a delicate coral colored rosé. All have carefully controlled yields, as Andre would have nothing else! Andre along with his wife Ariel, have created a highly respected, highly rated winery with highly in demand wines!
