Lucien Crochet, Sancerre, Le Chene Marchand 2021
Farming: Organic
From the ideally-situated Clos du Chêne Marchand, this wine opens with pure fruits (often green apple and lime) tied to a taut mineral spine. Often displaying aromas of honeysuckle, this wine, greater in complexity than the Croix du Roy or the basic Sancerre, also often offers a filigreed finesse and elegance that communicates the terroir. Grape Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
Vinified in stainless steel tanks 90% and 10% 600L demi muids, with a late racking to insure that the wine captures the essence of the terroir. 10-12 months on the lees, then the wine is filtered and bottled in September of the year following harvest. Low added SO2 ~50mg/l.

I served this in my wine course. Distinctly chalky nose. A bit weightier than the Roy, but more notable to me is substantially more complexity, especially on the much longer finish that alternates between bitter and acid. Excellent, and definitely find this to be the more interesting cuvee in a side by side comparison with the Croix du Roy. 1/10/2024
