Tasting notes
The 2023 Chêne Marchand offers clarity and a sense of focus. There are no edges to this despite its vibrant acidity providing a racy line through the core. This is very complete, offering a bit of reassuring flesh with a firm spine running through it. The 2023 is young and will gain breath and richness with more time in bottle. Its primary, citrusy character will also provide more interest with age.

Shows beautiful concentration and lemony acidity from this great vineyard. A naturally sunny site, the wine has volume and weight, but the altitude and underlying calcareous subsoil give complementary freshness. Chalky in texture, with sweet fruit and a soft mineral acidity. Harvested by hand, fermented using yeasts from the vineyard. Unfined and unfiltered, and aged for a year in large oak. In conversion to organic viticulture.
