Comments on this:

Sancerre Chêne Marchand 2022 from the domaine Pinard

Guide RVF des Meilleurs Vins de France 2025 (August 2024): 96/100. Always more contained in its youth, Chêne Marchand offers magnificent breadth. Its bitter structure gives it a unique breath. The future looks bright

Clément Pinard: "One of the greatest Terroirs of Bué, here the limestone offers a very complex wine, Chêne Marchand is often a wine for aging. As wide as it is long, with aromas of chalk and citrus. Approximately 5200 bottles produced."

Florent and Clément Pinard: Chêne Marchand is a famous cru in our village of Bué. This terroir is composed of Oxfordian Limestone, a very chalky and stony soil. On this plateau, the exposure is ideal, West, East, and South, which gives the wine great power. The richness of Chêne Marchand is tempered by the mineral freshness of the soil.
