In the small commune of Bué, just outside of Sancerre, François Crochet and his wife farm 10.5 hectares of prime vineyards that boast all three of the main Sancerre soil type: chalk, flint, and gravelly marl. François’ reputation as a producer of first class, hand-crafted Sancerrre is on the rise, and as a boutique producer with such a small production, we are lucky to get what we have.
All the fruit is hand-harvested. Les Amoureuses is grown in heavy limestone clay soils which impart a strong mineral influence on the nose and palate, not to mention the most powerful and textured overall impression from François Crochet’s lineup.
