11.9%. Quite light bodied. Perfumed. Sweet pear and melon on the nose. Nice delicate wine but I think I’ve decided I don’t love Vermentino as a grape outside a few mainland Italian versions. Never really does what I want it to. Gimme more acid! — 2 months ago

Not acidic taste, but strong, one of french secrets. Great with soft cheese and by itself. Much better comparing to Chardonnay (at least American) — 8 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

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)

Drinking well now but will clearly open out and develop in time. Lovely soft raspberries and great length and backbone. — 5 months ago

9.1

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% . — a year ago
