2025 Crochet, Lucien - Sancerre Rose (750ml)

One of Sancerre's benchmark rosés from a family domaine based in Bué — now in the hands of Gilles Crochet — with deep roots in the appellation's finest limestone and marl soils. Sourced from two terroirs: Oxfordian "caillottes" and Kimmeridgian marls, with brief skin contact before gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel to preserve freshness, purity, and Pinot Noir character. The 2025 vintage is characterized by its sunny profile, good water reserves, and an early harvest under favorable conditions — producing healthy, well-balanced grapes with lovely freshness, aromatic richness, and harmonious balance. Juicy and mineral-rich on the palate, with fine cherry, light wild strawberry, and a grippy dryness underpinned by Sancerre's ringing calcium minerality on the lingering finish. A cut above Provence for food pairing — particularly oysters, goat cheese, and grilled salmon. Drink nowc
