About the Winery

Lucien Crochet

Located in the esteemed wine-producing region of Sancerre in the Loire Valley, Lucien Crochet is a winery that embodies the rich French heritage of viticulture. This family-owned domain is renowned for its unwavering commitment to quality and tradition; producing wines that are not only a testament to their craftsmanship but also echo the unique terroir of the region.

The winery was established by Lucien Crochet, whose passion for winemaking was inherited from his father and grandfather. Upon marrying his wife, Lucien amalgamated their respective family vineyards into a single entity, thereby creating a larger, more established estate. Today, Lucien's son, Gilles Crochet and his wife Laurence, uphold the family tradition with the same ardour and dedication.

In their commitment to expressing the true character of their vines, the Crochet family adopt a meticulous and respectful approach to each stage of the wine-producing process. The vineyards are worked traditionally, with no chemical fertilisers or pesticides used in favour of organic compost and manual tillage. Likewise, as advocates for the pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc, the family take a minimalist stance in the winery- favouring spontaneous fermentation and minimal intervention.

Lucien Crochet wines are notable for their precision, elegance, and balance. The flavours are expressive of the flinty, chalky soils that its vines are nurtured in; the wines also impress with their powerful aromatic intensity and ripe fruit characters. Their focus on producing a premium-quality, single-varietal Sauvignon Blanc has earned them recognition among connoisseurs and critics alike, leading to their wines being found in many of the world's finest restaurants.

The Lucien Crochet winery offers visitors a serene atmosphere where one can not only sample and purchase their stunning wines but also gain an in-depth understanding of the winery's sustainable farming practices. Visitor or not, one thing is certain: a bottle of Lucien Crochet is more than a wine, it's a journey through the rich, winemaking lineage of the Sancerre region.

Whether you're a devoted oenophile or a casual wine enthusiast. Lucien Crochet offers a taste that's truly a class apart, providing an authentic sip of Sancerre's soul.
