Still a barrel sample, the 2023 Les Chasseignes shows a creamy, lactic note that you won't have seen before, as there was a little malo here in 2023 for the first time. There's a cooler, greener nature, with green herbs joining ripe apple flesh and pear. It remains fresh with a fine, chalky texture but lacks a little of the usual persistence on the finish. Drinking window: 2025-2031. Score - 90-92. (Rebecca Gibb, MW, vinous.com, Aug. 6, 2024)

This Sancerre is sourced from several parcels in the Les Boucauds site, with some grapes coming from the clay/marl at the bottom of the slope and others from the richer Kimmeridgian and limestone soils at higher elevations. A lively, long wine, with peach, pear, spice and mineral. Intense but elegant. This will drink well for another decade.
