The Character

Tasting Notes Elegant first nose delivering scents of melon and watermelon. Upon aeration, aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry emerge, accompanied by hints of aniseed and menthol. Crisp on the attack, round in its development, a well-balanced acidity enlivens the palate. Melon notes are complemented by aromas of blood orange, altogether expressive with a finish on aniseed notes.
Pairings Trout fillets "en papillote", grilled shrimp and coconut milk rice

The Story

Blend of two terroirs from several plots: Oxfordian “caillottes” and Kimmeridgian marls

About Dom Crochet

Producer Story

It was Lucien’s marriage to the daughter of Lucien Picard, and the subsequent fusion of the domaines of Lucien Picard & André Crochet (father of Lucien), that created the Domaine Lucien Crochet. Monsieur Picard was one of the very first growers in the Sancerre district to begin bottling his wines and selling them primarily to restaurants in Paris. Lucien Crochet expanded the work of his father-in-law and, over a 30 year period, also expanded the domaine so that it now encompasses 38 hectares of vineyards, almost all of which are located in the village of Bué with smaller holdings in the villages of Vinon and Crézancy. Twenty-nine hectares are planted to Sauvignon Blanc and the remaining 9 hectares are planted to Pinot Noir. Since 1989 only organic supplements have been used.
