Sancerre Chêne Marchand 2023 from domaine Pinard

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2026 (August 2025): 96/100. Once again, Chêne Marchand captivates with its remarkable purity: a white wine that is both powerful and golden with a stimulating back structure. These wines need time; they will reveal themselves in the coming years.

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 broad 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.
