Importer notes: "Chambrates is located on a plateau above Le Paradis on limestone and red clay soils. This is a generous example of Sancerre due to its terroir with more of a citric quality to the fruit, a richer texture and a mineral finish. It is fermented and aged for 12 months in large French oak vats."
2022 vintage rated 95 points by James Suckling: "A spectacular white, sharp, stony, textural and laser-focused. On the nose it shows lemon sorbet, wild herbs, stones, cedar and flint. Medium-bodied yet it has so much volume, with a vertical dimension on the palate. Minerally and austere in the good sense. Terroir-driven and textural, with a succulent mid-palate. Precise, agile and bright, with a lingering finish. Drink or hold."
