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. Most of the most famous Sancerre sites are either clay and limestone for instance Les Monts Damnés or La Grand Côte or flint – Les Romains. Being aged for 11 months in conical wooden vats with bottling due in August. The 2019 when tasted in late January was richly textured well balanced by vibrant acidity in the long finish. Very promising.
