LUCIENNE CROCHET SANCERRE

Domaine Lucien Crochet – Sancerre

Loire Valley, France — Sauvignon Blanc

Style:
A benchmark Sancerre, known for purity, precision, and an elegant expression of Sauvignon Blanc deeply rooted in the chalk and limestone soils of Bué.

Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Pale straw with silver reflections; bright and crystalline.

Nose:
Fresh, lifted, and aromatic. Notes of lime zest, grapefruit, green apple, and white peach unfold with hints of elderflower, fresh herbs (tarragon, mint), gooseberry, and a signature flinty, chalky minerality.

Palate:
Crisp, vibrant, and finely textured. The palate shows pure citrus and orchard fruit, supported by lively acidity and a beautifully etched mineral backbone. Subtle notes of wet stone, crushed chalk, and salinity give extraordinary tension and length.

Finish:
Long, clean, and precise, with lingering citrus, mineral grip, and floral lift.
