Les Calcaires Sancerre AOC by Lucien Crochet is a terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, vividly reflecting the limestone-rich origin of Sancerre.

Producer: Lucien Crochet, Bué
The historic Lucien Crochet estate is deeply rooted in Bué, one of the most renowned villages of Sancerre. The limestone soils give the wines their characteristic minerality and tension. Here, Sauvignon Blanc acts as an authentic ambassador of the terroir, showing itself refined, precise and mineral – less opulent than many overseas styles, yet with fine structure and elegant length.
