"The expression of terroir
"A good white with crisp flesh, typical of the limestone terroir of Bué. Drink within the year". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF). Here, the fruit expresses itself on citrus notes with precision and freshness, while the palate is pure, delicate and saline. A perfect Sancerre for the aperitif or to accompany a seafood platter...

Sancerre
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Daniel Crochet is one of the most talented winegrowers in the Loire: he cultivates 10 hectares on parcels spread between Bué and Sancerre, making the most of soils of white earth and pebbles. From entry-level to prestige cuvées, all the wines show great consistency. In the white category, Plante des Prés and Chêne Marchand, located in the best sectors of their locality, are among the region's finest Sauvignons. This is a top priority for the wine-lover.

About the wine:
A crisply-fleshed white, typical of the limestone terroir of Bué. Drink within the year.
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.

A lovely, lively Sauvignon with good acidity. Ideal as an aperitif or with white fish.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 16/10/2021
A classic, convincing Sancerre, despite its 14%, which is not perceptible. Lively tension and explosive freshness sweep the palate with a fine, sharp, citrus-scented structure. Delightful saline and lemony finish, enhanced by a hint of bitterness and flint, specific to the terroir. Good RQ/P. Score = 3.8. An excellent accompaniment at 9° to a starter of oven-baked Oleron oysters au gratin, followed by skate wings with capers.
