100% Pinot Noir

Based in Bué, François Crochet is one of the most impressive producers in the region. The vineyards have been certified organic and biodynamic since 2023. All 12 hectares are harvested by hand. The fruit is whole-bunch pressed and vinified with native yeasts, making for wines with pure, delicate fruit and lower thiol levels. There are restraint and impeccable clarity throughout the range. The 2023s are some of the best examples of the vintage, communicating a real sense of place. There are just two 2024s, a Sancerre Blanc and the single-vineyard Chêne Marchand. There was not enough fruit to produce the other single-vineyard cuvées like Exils, Le Petit and Le Grand Chemarin, which means that fruit all went into the Sancerre Blanc. The young 2025s display all the care and attention that Crochet invests in the vineyards. They are balanced, clean and pure.

Sancerre (rouge) comes from many parcels around Bué on soft to medium slopes facing southerly directions between 220-250 meters on limestone bedrock and rocky topsoils with red and brown clay.

Fully destemmed Pinot Noir with a natural fermentation/maceration for 20-25 days (depending on vintage) with up to 3 pumpovers per day followed by 18 months of aging in large old tronconic (vertical) wooden vats.

If we have multiple quantities of the same item, the photo represents the general condition of all bottles under that SKU.
