White Sancerre “Le Chêne Marchand”

Plots

Sancerre white "Le chêne marchand"

Municipality of Bué, we operate 1.84 hectares out of the 26 hectares of this plot. Higher up and facing south, “Le Chêne Marchand” is more “solar” than the other plots. Aging on fine lees for 5 months in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, this historic “cru” of the appellation has a generous and gourmet profile. Its soil, limestone brings a great minerality, freshness and salinity.
