"A racy, fresh and elegant Sancerre that makes you want to have more.
"The expression of Sauvignon blends into the profile of a stony feel and floral tones that are also found in a beautifully concentrated palate. A white with airy power. A very special salivating dimension. (Revue RVF n° 679 - April 2024).

About the wine:
The expression of Sauvignon blends into the profile of a stony feel and floral tones that are also found in a beautifully concentrated palate. A white with airy power. A very special salivating dimension.
About the domain :
On the white earth and caillottes soils of the Bué commune, Daniel Crochet, François' cousin, has been running this quality family estate since 1996. The work here is of the utmost seriousness, with grass-covered vines, ageing on lees and meticulous vinification. The domaine is fortunate to benefit from some of the finest plots in the area, in particular Plante des Prés and Chêne Marchand. We've been impressed by the precision and depth of the reds over the last few vintages, and salute Daniel Crochet's meticulous work. The whites, aged in enamelled vats (and partially in demi-muids for Chêne Marchand), are beautifully crafted, meticulous and calibrated. 2023 is the first vintage to be certified organic.
