Taking over from his parents in the late 80's after stints in New Zealand and Bordeaux, Francois Crochet produces Sancerre (white, red & rosé), and only Sancerre on the family's plot in Bué, a small town just southwest of, well... Sancerre. His 25 year-old vines are planted to both caillottes and terre blanche soils, and his wines age on their lees for 6 months before bottling.
