Just a few kilometres to the west of the town of Sancerre, and just a little to the south, lies the tiny commune of Bué, and it is here that you will find François Crochet and most of his vines.
François Crochet is an innovative winemaker with experience far beyond Sancerre. These wines are some of the most precise and refined Sancerre around; intensely flavoured with crisp, refreshing acidity and great length.
The grapes were hand-picked. The whole bunches of grapes were transferred to pneumatic presses by means of a belt in order to avoid bruising the skins. Static settling before racking. Fermentation takes 3 to 4 weeks. Aged in stainless steel for 6 months.
Pale Salmon pink colour, very fine notes of fresh red fruits on the nose which is continued on the well balanced palate. Try it with spicy Asian fayre or Moroccan Tajine.
