More About Dominique et Janine Crochet Sancerre Blanc

A textbook Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre, produced in the village of Bué, one of the region’s most respected terroirs, known for combining limestone soils with bright, high-acid precision. The Crochet family have been working these vineyards since the 1980s, now farming around 13 hectares with a move toward organic practices.

In the glass it’s a pale lemon colour with green hints, immediately signalling freshness and acidity.

The nose is classic Sancerre: lime zest, grapefruit and green apple, alongside subtle notes of white flowers, fresh herbs and flinty minerality. There’s often a slightly “chalky” or wet stone character that anchors the fruit.

On the palate it’s bright, linear and precise. The fruit sits firmly in the citrus and orchard spectrum, lemon, grapefruit, pear and a touch of white peach, but the defining feature is the structure. High acidity drives everything forward, giving it that racy, mouthwatering energy Sancerre is known for.

There’s also a strong mineral backbone, often described as saline or stony, which keeps the wine dry and focused rather than fruity or soft. The texture is medium-light but not thin, there’s just enough weight to carry the acidity without losing clarity.

Meet the Producer, Dominique et Janine Crochet

Dominique et Janine Crochet

Style: Winery

Dominique et Janine Crochet is one of the quietly brilliant names of Sancerre, producing Sauvignon Blanc that perfectly captures the elegance and mineral tension that made the Loire Valley famous long before New Zealand Sauvignon started shouting at everyone from supermarket shelves.

Based in Bué, one of Sancerre’s most respected villages, the domaine farms vineyards rich in limestone and clay soils, giving the wines loads of freshness, structure and that classic flinty character Loire fans become mildly obsessed with. The wines deliver citrus peel, gooseberry, white flowers and crisp green fruit alongside beautifully clean acidity and proper mineral depth.

What makes Dominique et Janine Crochet particularly appealing is the restraint in the winemaking. Everything feels focused and balanced rather than aggressively aromatic or overripe. These are wines designed for food, conversation and actual drinking rather than trying to win a blind tasting competition by screaming passionfruit at maximum volume.

The domaine also produces wines that age surprisingly well, developing more savoury and textured complexity over time while still retaining that bright Loire freshness underneath. Very classy Sauvignon Blanc without any unnecessary ego attached.
