2020 Lucien Crochet Sancerre - Loire Valley, France (750ml)

From Lucien Crochet comes this elegant, bone-dry Sancerre. The grapes for this cuvée are sourced from vineyards in Bué, Vinon and Crézancy, and harvested by hand a bit earlier than other cuvées in the region due to great sun exposure. This helps the wine maintain its crisp acidity while allowing for the development of tropical fruit notes. The wine then ages for 10-12 months on the lees, resulting in enough body to stand up to oily fish like trout and mackerel. Fresh herbs and citrus on the nose lead into a refreshing, mineral-driven palate with a touch of ripeness. Enjoy with herbed goat cheese or grilled trout.
