Light citrus, pear and peach on the nose. Crisp, refreshing and fruity on the palate, lime, grapefruit and peach flavours combine with light mineral notes. Perfect with shellfish and spicy vegetarian dishes.

The Winery

Lucien Picard and André Crochet, the grandfathers of Lucien Crochet, were both winegrowers. Lucien Crochet’s father merged their Sancerre estates, which became the Domaine it is today. Domaine Lucien Crochet owns vineyards in Bué that cover 26 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and another 9 hectares of Pinot Noir. The grapes are harvested by hand (a rare occurrence in Sancerre), and using naturally occurring yeasts adds to the aromas and flavours of these distinct and elegant wines.
