Lucien Crochet – Masterful Sancerre from the renowned family estate in Bué
Lucien Crochet is one of the most respected and celebrated names in Sancerre, the legendary Loire Valley appellation that produces what many consider to be the world's greatest Sauvignon Blanc. The Crochet family has cultivated vines in Bué, at the heart of the Sancerre appellation, for several generations, and has built a reputation for producing Sancerre of extraordinary precision, depth and complexity that stands among the finest in the appellation. Under the direction of Lucien and his son Gilles, the estate has consistently won the highest praise from international critics, and the wines are today sought after by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide as benchmarks for what great Sancerre can achieve.
Sancerre: The world capital of Sauvignon Blanc
Sancerre is a wine region of extraordinary beauty, perched on the hilltops of the eastern Loire Valley overlooking the river. The limestone and flint (silex) soils give Sancerre wines their legendary mineral character – a flinty, gunsmoke quality that is utterly distinctive and impossible to replicate anywhere else in the world. The cool continental climate preserves the natural acidity of the Sauvignon Blanc and allows the variety to develop its full aromatic complexity: citrus fruit, white flowers, herbs and that unmistakable mineral purity. Lucien Crochet works with three distinct soil types – limestone (calcaires), clay-limestone (terres blanches) and silex – and produces single-vineyard wines from each to showcase the extraordinary diversity of the Sancerre terroir.
