Producer: Lucien Crochet, Bué
The historic Lucien Crochet estate in Bué is deeply rooted in one of Sancerre’s most renowned communes. The vineyards are planted on limestone soils that impart a distinctive minerality and tension to the wines. Here, Sauvignon Blanc serves as a true ambassador of terroir: fresher and more mineral-driven than many overseas styles, with floral and citrus overtones that reflect the unique geology of the Loire Valley.
