The ultra-elegance of Crochet's Sancerre, vintage 2024. Domaine Lucien Crochet is a benchmark estate in Bue, in the southern arc of Sancerre, where Kimmeridgian limestone and silex flint produce some of the appellation's most layered Sauvignon Blanc. This village bottling, drawn from multiple parcels around Bue, sets the house style: restrained, mineral, almost Burgundian in its build, with the flinty grip that Crochet fans recognize on first sip. Where many Sancerres lean loud and grassy, this is precision-engineered, an exercise in cool stone and white citrus. Drink now through the early 2030s; like all good Crochet, it will only get more interesting with a few years in bottle.

More about Lucien Crochet

Domaine Lucien Crochet may be the top grower in the Sancerre village of Bué. That may not sound like much. How many of us obsess over the villages of Sancerre? How many can we even name? Chavignol, maybe, given its kimmeridgian limestone, superstar growers (the Cotats, Boulay and Vatan), and famously steep vineyards with memorable names (like 'Les Monts Damnés' or 'The Damned Mountains').

But Bué? Hardly a household name, despite its incredible terroir. Gently rolling hills of Griottes (Oxfordian limestone clay) and Caillotes (limestone gravels) make wines that have all the depth of minerality and vibrant acidity of a great Chavignol, but that also manage to drink younger.

How good are the wines of Domaine Lucien Crochet? When Eric Asimov did a Wines of the Times column on Sancerre a dozen years ago, Crochet's was his top pick. It even beat out the superstar Cotats. We think Crochet has only gone from strength to strength since then. And Chris Kissack, one of the best writers on the Loire Valley, says the Domaine is so good it's mere "presence... in the village... is clear testimony to the quality and potential of Bué’s vineyards and wines." Crochet is the benchmark.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Made for goat cheese (Crottin de Chavignol, especially), but equally at home with oysters, grilled sole, asparagus, smoked trout, or simply a wedge of aged Comte and a crisp baguette.

Tasting Profile

Lemon zest, green apple, and crushed oyster shell on the nose. The palate is taut and dry, with chalky-flinty grip, white peach mid-palate, and a long mineral finish. Pure, precise, age-worthy Sancerre.
