Lucien Crochet
Le Chêne Marchand Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc



When faced with a difficult list, I will always go with Crochet if it’s there. Consistency and a fair price.

The bouquet on the 2016 Lucien Crochet Sancerre Le Chene Marchand showed a beautiful mix of young mango with wet stone, chalk dust, lime zest and hints of dried savory herbs. On the palate, I found rich weighty textures which were perfectly offset by zesty acidity and spice as a cascade of minerals, green apple, with hints of honey, lime and inner floral tones coated the senses. The finish was long as slightly oily textures slowly faded from the palate, leaving a coating of green citrus, with minerals and residual mouthwatering acidity. It's amazing now but I know this will only get better with a few years in the cellar.

Incredible wine. Pure white flower with honeysuckle. Perfect weight with a flint aspect in the back. Single vineyard and worth the search for this bottle!
