9.3

The 2022 Chêne Marchand is a richly fruited wine offering creamy notes and ripe peach fruit. While it's an opulent style for a Sancerre, it never becomes heavy, plus it has an almost tannic edge, providing a frame and reassuring structure that grips the palate, suggesting that this has longevity. There's a fine, briny character throughout. Having tasted the killer 1996 vintage a few minutes afterward, you can be sure this wine has a long life ahead. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, August 2024)

Earthy and brambly; seems tight? but 8 yrs in bottle should be sufficient…. maybe there’s just not all that much going on. Underlying cherry and red liquorice, but very background. Perhaps it’ll open in a couple hours… — 5 months ago

Dark cherry, tea notes, rich and big, Crushed marble. Plenty of tannins left could run for 5 more years. See my previous notes as well this is excellent and how Burgundy should be. 13.5%. — a year ago
