Le Chêne Marchand
Chêne Bleu
Héloïse Syrah Grenache 2013
Totally unlike the last time I tried it, two years ago. time has done this good- and perhaps some bottle variation is at play here too.
This is sappy and delicious. Herbal character, very pure. Some bo funk. Pinot noir elegance with persistent tannins. — 4 months ago

Clos des Ormes Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2016
Drinking well now but will clearly open out and develop in time. Lovely soft raspberries and great length and backbone. — 8 months ago

Clos du Chêne Vert Chinon Cabernet Franc 2017
Bright medium ruby , perhaps a little more ruby on the rim than the Clos de la Dioterie . More sweetly fruited , with more red fruits than dark , spiced cherry , strawberry, raspberry , rose , roast red pepper, cranberry. Quite rounded tannin , balanced acidity . On the palate mixed summer fruits with strawberry , red cherry with good density, quite juicy but well balanced . Roasted pepper , spicy cherry , wet slate infused finish with medium length. This probably will improve over the next 5 or so years and last well a further 5-8 — 5 months ago

Chêne Marchand Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2022
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)
