Note : RVF 15,5/20
This cuvée is a faithful reflection of its exceptional terroir: the "Chêne Marchand" plots, whose soil is strewn with small white stones that release the heat stored during the day, thus contributing to a better ripening of the grapes... A superb expression!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2011) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
"This thirty-something gentleman has been making a name for himself since 2000 with red Sancerre, but his ambitions don't stop with Pinot Noir. His Sauvignons are also rising in range and precision, expressing themselves in a rich, ripe style typical of the Bué area - particularly the Chêne Marchand sector."
