With all the breed of the noble Pinot Noir, this rosé combines pure flavors of strawberries and raspberries with a light mineral core, adding just a touch of spice on a lingering, long finish. An elegant cocktail party rosé and meant for small, light seafood snacks and young cheeses.
Lucien Crochet Le Chene is produced from clay-limestone vineyards in the village of Bué. Because of the vineyards' excellent southerly exposure, this bottling is often harvested earlier than other cuvees, leading it to maintain a particularly well-endowed acidity to frame the ripe fruit and elegant mineral. Organic vineyard practices have been exclusively employed by Crochet for over 20 years.
A classic Crochet wine, intense, zesty, pure and linear, refreshing citrus rind character, limes lemons and minerals with a peachy ripeness, remarkably intense and concentrated for a regular Sancerre.
