Daniel Crochet Sancerre Blanc 2023

Pale straw in the glass. The nose opens with an inviting bouquet of lime zest, white peach, and elderflower, laced with hints of crushed oyster shells and fresh herbs. On the palate, the wine is lively and precise, with flavors of green apple, grapefruit, and a touch of guava balanced by a steely minerality. A vibrant acidity carries through to a clean, zesty finish, with a saline note that leaves the palate refreshed.  A bright jewel.

Daniel Crochet is one of the most talented winemakers in the Loire region. He cultivates 10 hectares on plots located between Bué and Sancerre, fully exploiting the soils of white earth and pebbles. Both in the entry-level wines and in the prestige cuvées, all wines are consistently excellent.

Domaine Daniel Crochet is a fourth-generation family-owned winery located in the heart of France's Sancerre region. Established in 1996 by Daniel Crochet, who studied viticulture and oenology at the Lycée Wine Avize in the Marne Valley. The estate emphasizes organic farming practices, incorporating techniques such as ploughing, allowing natural grass growth among the vines and cultivating grass between vine rows to preserve soil quality and limit yields, ensuring maximum grape concentration. Since 2020, the vineyards have been undergoing conversion to certified organic agriculture.
