Slightly herbaceous. Citrus green apple. Chalk flint featured this region. Rich. With elegancy. Good match with seafood. Sweetness. Highly balanced! 13.5% Sancerre Le Chene Marchand Pascal Jolivet 22 @5280, Toscan, 250727-250921 — a year ago

Pale golden lemon color with aromas with complex aromas of citrus, floral and flinty stone fruits, lees aging with regular bâtonnage for a period of about 8-12 months. On the palate flavors of lemon, pineapple and peach with floral notes and slight herb spice. Long rich finish, balanced acidity ending with sweet citrus and stony mineral spice. The vineyard is in organic conversion since 2020. — 2 months ago

Great sauv blanc. Beguiling honeysuckle and green tropical fruit, pear, kiwi. Very generous, comparatively round and textured for Sancerre but still high acid. This will age well.
Unsurprisingly, even better on day 2. A riot of fruit aroma.

Simultaneously light yet earthy, with soft flavors of mushroom and red fruits. Enjoyable, food friendly. — 7 years ago
Very bright but very excellent Bourgogne rouge. — 8 years ago
A bright medium ruby color and an elegant, red-fruited profile. On the nose, it opens with fresh cherry, raspberry, and red currant, layered with subtle rose petal and a touch of forest floor and wet stone. The palate is refined rather than powerful, carrying through with cranberry and cherry notes supported by lively acidity and silky, fine tannins. There’s a gentle earthy undertone and a hint of white pepper or baking spice that adds complexity without weight. The finish is clean and medium in length, lingering on fresh red fruit and mineral tones, making it balanced, food-friendly, and distinctly Old World in style rather than bold or extracted. — 8 months ago
Just OK on day one. After 2 days on my Argon line. Cardamom, Allspice, forest notes, tannins integrated, black tea, orange rind and dark cherries. I prefer the Suchots from the same vintage. Over all i don’t think that Pascal Marchand did a good job in 2010. I am surprised that he did not better with Grand Cru fruit in a good vintage. May be picked too early? 13% . — 3 years ago

2018. Wow. Beautiful and powerful. This is the wine you want when you want to convince your friends that pinot noir doesn’t have to be light, prissy wine. Rich dark red fruit on nose. Nice balance of acid and tannins. And a long finish. — 3 days ago
