Domaine Lucien Crochet Sancerre
Domaine Lucien Crochet Sancerre is a benchmark expression of one of the Loire Valley's finest appellations, produced by the renowned Lucien Crochet estate in the heart of Sancerre, France. Crafted from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown on the renowned chalky-clay and flint (silex) soils of the appellation, this wine exemplifies why Sancerre is considered the world standard for this noble variety.
Pale gold with green highlights, the wine opens with a penetrating, precise nose of white grapefruit, gooseberry, white currant, and a signature mineral, smoky flint character. On the palate, it is crisp and structured with vibrant acidity, pure citrus and stone fruit flavors, and a distinctly chalky, saline minerality that speaks directly of its terroir, finishing long and expressive.
A natural partner for fresh oysters, Loire Valley goat cheese (Crottin de Chavignol), grilled fish, and elegant seafood dishes.
