Sancerre Chaine Marchand 2022 Domaine Pierre Morin

Sancerre - Chêne Marchand 2022

南向きの石灰が生む、塩気を帯びた旨味。

ビュエ村の南向き、石灰質の丘陵から収穫したソーヴィニヨン・ブランです。グリオット土壌とチョーク質の下層土が、力強いミネラル感をもたらします。レモンの皮や白桃、スイカズラの華やかな香りに、火打石や湿ったチョークのニュアンスが続きます。口当たりはピュアでシャープ。引き締まった酸が骨格をつくり、18か月の澱熟成が滑らかなテクスチャーを加えます。生牡蠣やシェーブルチーズのサラダとともにどうぞ。

Tasting note

Pale gold in colour with a slight greenish sheen. Fresh and gorgeous aromas of lemon peel, white peach, and honeysuckle rise from the glass, gradually revealing nuances of flint and wet chalk, characteristic of the calcareous soil. The palate is extremely pure and sharp, with firm acidity giving the wine structure and mineral saltiness enhancing the umami flavor. Aging on the lees for 18 months adds depth and smooth texture to the flavor, giving it a very long stay in the mouth. This is a classic and refined Sancerre that excels in expressing the terroir, and we can expect it to evolve further with several years of aging.

Food pairing

Raw oysters, sauteed chicken in lemon butter, asparagus and goat cheese salad

Winemaking & technical data

Le Chêne Marchand is located in the village of Bué, in the south of the appellation, and enjoys excellent sunshine thanks to its south-facing location halfway up the slope.
The two plots of vines planted on Griotte soil at an altitude of 250m produce small, very early-ripening grapes, which are usually among the earliest harvested plots each year.

Cultivation method

Guyot-Poussard method of pruning: complete bud removal, natural grass cultivation (allowing undergrowth to grow)
Hand harvested and biodynamically sprayed

brewing

Whole bunch direct pressing, juice stabilised at low temperature, lightly filtered
Aged for 18 months on the lees in stainless steel tanks.
