Lucien Crochet “Le Chene Marchand”, 2023, 750ml
$80
Description
Experience terroir precision from a single Loire vineyard in a vintage that demanded focus. Lucien Crochet's 'Le Chêne Marchand' comes from clay-limestone soils in Bué village, where the challenging 2023 vintage—hot and concentrated—tested winemakers' commitment to place over power. The result is focused Sauvignon Blanc that expresses soil over ripeness, limestone minerality over tropical fruit. A wine that rewards patience and food pairing, showing what happens when a skilled producer prioritizes terroir expression in a difficult year.
