Francois Crochet is located in the town of Bue, slightly south-west of Sancerre. A family owned domaine, very small at 10.5 hectares with a focus on Sauvignon Blanc with 70% planted on chalky limestone soils (known as Caillottes) and the remaining 30% planted on a clay-chalk combination (known as Terres Blanches). The vines have a 25 year average age and the first vintage was in 2000.
François' reputation as a producer of first class, hand-crafted Sancerrre is on the rise, and as a boutique producer with such a small production, we are lucky to get what we have. All the fruit is hand-harvested.
Tasting Notes
Lithe and focused, this displays classic Sancerre lemony citrus and mineral aromas and flavors, with great energy and drive on the palate and length on the finish. An ideal match for goat's cheese, fish, or shellfish.
