New 2009 vintage; the 2008 vintage was rated: RVF 14.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 14/20
This red Sancerre cuvée is made from a harvest of Pinot Noir grapes picked at full ripeness, resulting in a powerful wine expressing aromas of ripe red fruits and featuring a long finish. A beautiful expression of fruit in this rich and powerful wine that calls for a filet mignon with pepper sauce...

Rated estate (2011 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

"This thirty-something winemaker has made a name for himself since 2000 with his red Sancerre wines, but his ambitions extend beyond Pinot Noir. His Sauvignon Blancs are also gaining in quality and finesse, expressing themselves in a rich, ripe style typical of the Bué region—particularly the Chêne Marchand area."
