Experience terroir precision from a single Loire vineyard in a vintage that demanded focus. Lucien Crochet's 'Le Chêne Marchand' comes from clay-limestone soils in Bué village, where the challenging 2023 vintage—hot and concentrated—tested winemakers' commitment to place over power. The result is focused Sauvignon Blanc that expresses soil over ripeness, limestone minerality over tropical fruit. A wine that rewards patience and food pairing, showing what happens when a skilled producer prioritizes terroir expression in a difficult year.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

This wine is produced from vineyards in the village of Bué (principally the “Clos du Chêne Marchand”) that are planted uniquely to clay-limestone soils, known as “caillottes” and “griottes” which yield a wine of particularly fine quality and exceptional length. Usually harvested earlier than the other cuvées because of the excellent exposure of the vines to the sun, “Le Chêne” maintains an elegant acidity in support of the ripe fruit of these well-positioned vines.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Oysters, goat cheese, or herb-forward seafood dishes let the wine's limestone minerality shine. Pair with fresh herbs, lemon, and delicate proteins to match its precise character.
