Crochet’s appellation bottling is a perfectly pleasing, quintessential expression that will satisfy any fan of classic Sancerre. It’s immediately charming off the bat, with pure, flinty minerality and lemon pith giving nice terroir signature on the nose. Clean and steely, the aromatics take on fragrant white floral tones along with lemongrass and raspberry leaf notes for added complexity. The medium-weight palate is built around bright, well-integrated, citrusy acidity and a clean mineral core, with slightly tropical flavors of melon rind and green banana playing out on a medium-length finish. All in all, an extremely well-crafted entry-level wine from an under-the-radar Sancerre domaine that you should get to know.
