About this Item

2014 Sancerre Collection
4 (1 x 4) 750ml

Domaine Lucien Crochet has been producing wines in Sancerre since the early 1950’s. The organically farmed vineyards cover over 35 hectares, mostly planted to Sauvignon Blanc with a small amount of Pinot Noir for red and rosés. Today, the ultra-modern winery makes wines as naturally as possible using indigenous yeasts and through hand picking, careful selection of the grapes and long, slow ageing sur lie produces taut, sophisticated and age-worthy Sancerre.

The lot consists of the following Lucien Crochet wines:
Sancerre Blanc 2014 (1 x 750ml)
Sancerre La Croix du Roy Rouge 2014 (1 x 750ml)
Sancerre Le Chêne 2014 (1 x 750ml)
Sancerre Le Chêne Marchand 2014 (1 x 750ml)

Critics Ratings

Lucien Crochet Sancerre Blanc 2014
The grapes for this cuvée of Sancerre are sourced from the vineyards in Bué, Vinon and Crézancy. As with all the whites at the domaine, this wine sits in contact with the fine lies for a considerable period of time with the racking being done late in the spring following harvest. The resulting wine is pungent and distinctive with mineral and grapefruit flavors; great depth and texture.

Lucien Crochet Sancerre La Croix du Roy Rouge 2014
‘Sourced from several parcels on rocky white soil, this is a vibrant style of Pinot, full of energy with a crisp acidity and fresh red summer fruits. Medium-bodied with a nice balance between easy-drinking pleasure and layers of complexity. Tannins are ripe and this is in a great place to drink now. A very pretty wine, unforced and unpretentious, and all the better for it.’ - Christelle Guibert, Decanter.com, 91/100 (Oct 2019)

‘Cherries, slight sappiness, tart acidity, grippy tannins. Decent concentration, but pretty mean flavors.’ – Richard Hemming, JancisRobinson.com, 15/20 (Feb 2019)

The wine offers a nice profile on the palate , appearing crunchy with good volume and fat . The finish is long and mineral in the mouth. To be kept until 2020.' - Millesima
