Along with the Clos de la Poussie, owned by Ladoucette, Le Chêne Marchand is the most famous vineyard site in the village of Bué. The soil here is les caillottes – pure limestone with little soil and very stony. Caillottes accounts for 40% of the Sancerre vineyards. In general wines from this soil are the most aromatic when young and are often bottled early.
The 2022 Le Chêne Marchand is a blend of five parcels that make up 1.5ha out of this lieu dit's 27ha size. The wine exudes a rare clarity and precision. It is medium-bodied at most and has a supple tenderness on the mid-palate from this fleshy, warm season. It's a style that exudes a sense of effortlessness while retaining its shape. The palate shows a little oak, but this will be digested over time.
