Tasted: 92/100
Domaine Lucien Crochet is a benchmark for artisanal excellence in Sancerre, with a legacy spanning four generations. Their “Les Calcaires” cuvée is a pure expression of the appellation’s quintessential limestone terroirs—Caillottes and Griottes. Meticulous hand-harvesting and gentle pressing of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes ensure that every bottle captures the pristine character and mineral essence of this esteemed vineyard.
This wine shines with a pale, brilliant gold hue. The nose is a vibrant and complex bouquet of white peach, yuzu zest, and gooseberry, elegantly framed by a distinct flinty minerality. On the palate, it is crisp and racy, with a sharp, focused attack that reveals intense citrus flavors and a subtle, balancing bitterness reminiscent of grapefruit pith. This leads to a long, pure, and strikingly mineral-driven finish.
A wine of both power and precision, it is the ultimate companion for delicate yet rich dishes. It pairs exquisitely with fresh oysters, grilled sea bass with beurre blanc, or a classic goat cheese from the Loire Valley. Its vibrant acidity and depth also make it a superb match for sushi and sashimi.
