Le Chêne Marchand 2019 - DOMAINE FRANCOIS CROCHET

Tasting notes

The Le Chêne Marchand cuvée is made from Sauvignon Blanc grown on a plot of limestone soil strewn with small flat stones which restore, at night, the heat accumulated during the day. The vines are around 40 years old and are harvested manually. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, and the wine is aged 10 to 11 months on the lees .

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

In Sancerre, three villages have come to be associated with wines of distinction: Chavignol, Ménétréol-sous-Sancerre, and Bué. François Crochet lives in Bué and farms around eleven hectares, with vines predominantly around this home village (including around 3.5ha of Pinot Noir!).

Some of these 30 parcels Crochet works are in several renowned single-vineyards in Bué, including lieux-dits Petit Chemarin, Grand Chemarin and Le Chêne Marchand. These vineyards are limestone-based, rendering a distinctive mineral quality to Crochet’s wines that isn’t always found in the more industrially-produced wines of the region. Of course, each parcellaire wine has its own personality, but the single-vineyard wines are aged on fine lees in large foudre for 18 months, adding openness and elegance—a style long abandoned by most producers in the appellation.
