Description
Domaine Sylvain Bailly Sancerre Chêne Marchand 2024 is a premier expression of Sauvignon Blanc crafted from one of Sancerre’s most prestigious lieu-dit vineyards, Chêne Marchand in Bué. Known for its distinct caillottes (chalky limestone) soils, this exceptional terroir yields a wine of striking purity, intense minerality, and vibrant structure.
In the glass, it presents a brilliant pale gold color with greenish highlights. The nose opens with an aromatic bouquet of white peach, crisp green apple, citrus zest, and delicate white blossoms, anchored by a signature flinty, mineral undertone. On the palate, it delivers impressive focus and texture, balancing lively acidity with rich fruit flavors of grapefruit, lemon curd, and crushed stone. The finish is long, crisp, and refreshing, leaving a lasting impression of elegant minerality and refined complexity. Perfect as an aperitif or paired alongside fresh goat cheese (Crottin de Chavignol), oysters, grilled sea bass, or roasted poultry.
