The appellation of Sancerre is part of the ‘central vineyards’ of the Loire Valley, with almost all of the appellation situated on the left bank of the Loire River, opposite Pouilly Fumé. This region has a continental climate, as it is some 400 kilometres from the Atlantic Coast, with short, hot summers and long, cold winters. Early spring frosts are an annual threat in the vineyards. These vines are grown in chalky soils which provide good drainage for the vines.
The Chêne Marchand vineyard provides fruit for this very concentrated and impressive wine. Its weight doesn’t come from richness, but rather a powerful structure that underpins a mineral tang and intense freshness.
Great pairing with pork, seafood, spicy food and goat cheese.
