Crochet, Lucien 2022 Sancerre Blanc “Le Chêne Marchand”

100% Sauvignon Blanc. Lemon, gooseberry, tangerine, coconut, lees, and smoke. Classic understated Sancerre. Long time on the lees and it shows in the nose and on the palate. Richly textured and finely attenuated with acidity and mineral. Herbal notes are barely nuances. Wine shows some delicate rose pink color in the glass. Fabulous. This single vineyard cuvée is picked earlier than other plots because of the warmer aspect here. Wine tends to be riper and richer than other Crochet bottlings.
