{"product_id":"2024-crochet-lucien-sancerre-la-croix-du-roy-750ml","title":"2024 Crochet, Lucien - Sancerre La Croix du Roy (750ml)","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eDomaine Lucien Crochet is a family estate based in the village of Bué, one of the most respected communes within the Sancerre appellation. Gilles Crochet, son of the domaine's namesake, now oversees winemaking after training at Domaine Dujac in Burgundy, an experience that shows in his precise, terroir-driven approach across the estate's range. La Croix du Roy, also sold as Les Calcaires in some markets, stands as the fullest bodied and most structured of the domaine's three core Sancerre bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe wine is sourced from several parcels planted in rocky, pale limestone soils known locally as caillottes and griottes, set on steep, east-southeast facing slopes that capture long hours of sunlight. Made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc, the wine is vinified in stainless steel, with a deliberately late racking meant to preserve the transparency of the terroir rather than layering in oak character. It is bottled the September following harvest, after resting on its lees through the winter and spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe nose offers black currant and white stone fruit, while the palate carries a chalky minerality alongside a pleasing, citrusy bitterness reminiscent of yuzu. Bright and structured, it finishes long and refreshing. Pair with oysters, goat cheese, or a simple grilled sole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crochet, Lucien","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46180460560570,"sku":"104698","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/LucienCrochetCroixRoyBottle.jpg?v=1784577445","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2024-crochet-lucien-sancerre-la-croix-du-roy-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
