This is just about as good as it gets in Sancerre without spending $50+, and frankly we think it's just as good as almost every luxe-Sancerre we've tried in recent years. A terrific aperitif, this fresh Sauvignon has enough body to pair magically with piquant salads and fish dishes. It's a knockout with aged goat cheeses as well.

Wine Advocate
Caraway, white pepper, green tea, and mint pungently set the nose and palate tingling in Crochet’s 2010 Sancerre Le Chene, with lemon, lime and kumquat offering a juicy but almost severely zesty matrix on an expansive palate that practically glows and vibrates with zesty yet rich intensity. Chalky, salty, and somehow crystalline mineral elements add to a finish of shimmering and shimmying length. This dazzlingly interactive show should have at least a ten year run, perhaps even surpassing Crochet’s wonderful 2008, which is today even more beautifully kaleidoscopic today than when I attempted to wax eloquently about it in issue 190.
