Sancerre le Chêne Marchand 2019
The 2019 Sancerre Chêne Marchand is not a single parcel; it's from as many as 14 plots across this lieu-dit. It's a blend of 80% tank and 20% futs (600 liters), and the result is initially tender and round but then comes forward with power and structure as well as a light coating of chalkiness residing on the tongue. Youthful, pure fruit, floral, with a subtle apple character. Not a wine for the faint hearted, but there's plenty to get your mouth around.
