Lucien Crochet Sancerre Rosé (2025) – Rosé from Sancerre remains one of the Loire Valley’s quieter gems, and Lucien Crochet consistently delivers one of the most polished examples in the category. Made from Pinot Noir, this vintage balances freshness and texture with flavors of wild strawberry, watermelon rind, citrus, and crushed stone. The palate stays dry and linear, with subtle herbal notes and bright acidity giving the wine impressive versatility at the table. Lucien Crochet’s reputation for precision and site-driven wines comes through clearly here, offering a rosé with more structure and mineral character than many of its Mediterranean counterparts.
