Alcohol: 13%

Location: Bué, Sancerre, Loire Valley, France
Tasting Notes: Sparkling pale gold in the glass. The nose blends citrus blossom, crushed limestone, and a touch of gooseberry with white peach. The palate is sleek and energetic, with fine acid structure and a long, saline-tinged finish.
Notes: Domaine François Crochet is a family estate based in Bué, in the heart of the Sancerrois, where François Crochet has become one of the region's most talented winemakers over the past two decades. His Sauvignon Blanc draws on the appellation's Kimmeridgian limestone soils for precision and minerality.
Food Pairing: Goat cheese, oysters and shellfish, grilled fish, or a simple herb-roasted chicken.
Winery Story: Sancerre is the benchmark expression of Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc, prized for its bracing acidity and mineral drive. François Crochet's small family domaine in Bué crafts wines that favor purity and freshness over weight.
