Francois Crochet Sancerre Blanc 2023 – Crisp Loire Valley White Wine

Francois Crochet Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Elevate your wine experience with Francois Crochet’s 2023 Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc—a masterclass in terroir-driven elegance from France’s Loire Valley. Crafted from a mosaic of small vineyards across Sancerre’s diverse landscapes, this wine captures the essence of its unique geology. From sun-drenched slopes to cool northerly exposures, each parcel contributes distinct minerality shaped by silex (flint), chalky limestone (grillot), and marl-rich soils—excluding only the famed Kimmeridgian marl found in Chablis.

The result? A vibrant white wine brimming with complexity yet approachable for everyday enjoyment. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, it preserves bright citrus and green apple flavors while showcasing flinty nuances and crisp acidity—a hallmark of Crochet’s signature “energetic” style. This blend balances finesse and depth, offering layered aromatics without heaviness.

Perfect for savoring with seafood, goat cheese, or herb-infused dishes, this Sancerre stands out among entry-level whites for its precision and balance. At 13% alcohol, it pairs effortlessly with meals or sips solo as an expression of Loire Valley craftsmanship. Whether you’re exploring French whites or seeking a versatile Sauvignon Blanc for casual gatherings, Crochet’s 2023 vintage delivers exceptional value and authenticity—true to Sancerre’s legacy without compromise.
