In the early 1950s, Lucien Picard was one of the pioneers to bottle Sancerre in the region and sell them in Paris. Gilles’ father, Lucien Crochet, merged the two estates together and developed relationships with the finest restaurants in Paris and began to export their wines. Today, Gilles and his wife Laurence, also a daughter of a Sancerre grower, oversee the estate. The vineyards of Domaine Lucien Crochet cover 35 hectares, 26 of which are planted with Sauvignon Blanc grapes for white wines and 9 hectares with Pinot Noir for reds and rosé. Most of the vines are in Bué, with some plots situated in the adjacent communes of Sancerre, Crézancy and Vinon. The soils overlie calcareous clay rock and an Oxfordian or Kimmeridgian subsoil. Plots are located on east, south and west-facing slopes at altitudes varying between 240 and 280 meters.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-28T10:37:25-04:00","created_at":"2023-03-19T15:25:53-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["ATOMCC23","Country_France","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Lucien Crochet","Region_Sancerre","RK1903","Source_MasterOfMalt0323","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Sauvignon Blanc"],"price":13900,"price_min":13900,"price_max":13900,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42857787359370,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Lucien Crochet | Sancerre","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":13900,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/51_bf7f7609-9bcf-4d94-82e0-4e3dbc2ba52f.jpg?v=1679253993"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/51_bf7f7609-9bcf-4d94-82e0-4e3dbc2ba52f.jpg?v=1679253993","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Lucien Crochet | Sancerre at CaskCartel.com","id":24434427789450,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.449,"height":1000,"width":449,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/51_bf7f7609-9bcf-4d94-82e0-4e3dbc2ba52f.jpg?v=1679253993"},"aspect_ratio":0.449,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/51_bf7f7609-9bcf-4d94-82e0-4e3dbc2ba52f.jpg?v=1679253993","width":449}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2020 | Lucien Crochet | Sancerre\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZesty acidity and stony minerality balance lingering wildflowers and blossom, with a touch of crisp orchard fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucien Crochet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2020\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Sancerre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautifully crisp Sauvignon Blanc from Lucien Crochet, in Sancerre – situated in the Upper Loire Valley in France.
