2018 Domaine Lucien Crochet Sancerre La Croix du Roy

Sourced from several parcels that are planted in rocky, white soils with an east-southeast exposure (including the “Clos du Roy”), this cuvée is the most full-bodied and masculine of the three core Sancerres of the domaine. Vinified in stainless steel with a late racking to insure that the wine captures the essence of the terroir, the wine is bottled in September of the year following harvest. A pale yellow color. A mineral and terror driven nose with hints of white fruits and sea breeze. On the palate the wine is smooth, vibrant and full-bodied with ripe fruit flavors, bright acidity and a mineral finish.
