Domain Lucien Crochet is a family domain that has been handed down from generation to generation. Lucien Crochet combined his father's domain with that of his wife's father, Lucien Picard, who was in fact one of the first in the Sancerre region to bottle his own wines. The vineyard spans 38 hectares: 29 of Sauvignon and 9 of Pinot Noir. One of the appellation's flagship names.

This cuvée is aged for 10 months on lees, then 6 months on fine lees. On tasting, the nose offers up aromas of pear and white flowers. On the palate, the attack is rich, wide, with beautiful tension and a long finish, offering minerality.
