François Crochet
François Crochet works in the Sancerre AOC at Marcigoué. He manages a vineyard of just over 10 hectares of Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, divided into some 30 plots in four communes: Bué, Sancerre, Crézancy and Thauvenay.

Domaine François Crochet benefits from a wide variety of terroirs (limestone, clay-limestone and flint). Half the vines are grassed, the other half worked: ploughing, hoeing, scratching... The entire Domaine François Crochet is hand-harvested and now produces a consistent, high-quality AOC Sancerre range.

New 2009 vintage, the 2008 was rated: RVF 14.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 14/20
This red Sancerre cuvée comes from a Pinot Noir harvest picked at full maturity, to give a powerful wine, expressing ripe red fruit aromas and a long finish. A beautiful expression of fruit for this powerful, gourmand ensemble that calls for a filet of pepper sauce...

Superb new 2009 vintage, 2008 rated: RVF 16/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20
Sancerre Réserve de Marcigoué comes from the limestone terroirs of Petit Chemarin and Grand Chemarin. It has lovely tannins, though still a little tight, which point to great potential. Not to be missed!

Note : RVF 15,5/20
This cuvée is a faithful reflection of its exceptional terroir: the "Chêne Marchand" plots, whose soil is strewn with small white stones that release the heat stored during the day, thus contributing to a better ripening of the grapes... A superb expression!

This 2010 Sancerre shines with freshness, minerality and gourmet, citrus aromas. We love its lively, sharp edge and the lovely mineral tension on the finish. An ideal companion for the famous Crottin de Chavignol... A superb 2010 vintage not to be missed!
