Hailing from the renowned terroirs of Sancerre, the Lucien Crochet Sancerre Rouge La Croix du Roy 2018 is a genuine testament to the mastery of Pinot Noir in this region. With a score that places it high on the connoisseur’s list, this wine’s rich, earthy profile is punctuated with ripe red fruits and a whisper of minerality, a nod to the limestone-rich soils of its origin. The palate is a harmonious dance of tart cherry notes with a subtle hint of spice, leaving a lingering, complex finish. This Sancerre Rouge is an excellent companion to a hearty lamb stew or a simple, yet elegant, cheese platter. Offering a quality experience that punches above its weight, it’s a smart buy for those seeking to explore the depth and versatility of Sancerre wines.
