A classic Sancerre with expression and balance – ideal with fish, seafood, as an aperitif and as a versatile companion to refined cuisine.
Producer: Lucien Crochet, Bué
The historic Lucien Crochet estate is deeply rooted in Bué, one of the most renowned villages of Sancerre. The vineyards are shaped by limestone soils with flint components, which lend the wines their typical minerality and tension. Sauvignon Blanc acts here as a true ambassador of terroir and presents itself distinctly differently from overseas styles: less opulent, yet with fine structure, freshness and elegant length. The house style stands for clarity, authenticity and uncompromising expression of origin.
