Zsazsa and Company, Inc

Small production of this spectaculr wine make it very special, indeed. The domaine produces approximately 80,000 bottles of Sancerre drawn from a variety of vineyards. Production levels are usually in the range of 40 to 55 hectoliters per hectare. When harvest conditions are particularly favorable, the Crochets make a special selection to create two cuvees of special note: one, the "Cuvee Prestige LC" drawn from several old vines plots; and, the second, picked on a specific day late in the growing season from 3 special parcels, showing the actual harvest date on the label. Of the 31 hectares in production, six are planted to Pinot Noir and are located in large part in the "Clos du Roy" and the "Cote de Bue". The Pinot is used to produce two different cuvees of Sancerre Rouge (the "Croix du Roy" and the "Cuvee Prestige LC") This rare Pinot Noir from Lucien Crochet is a true gem. Beautiful red fruits and smoky notes combine with a nice structure to make this wine as versatile as it is delicious. Light enough to savor with cheese or fish, yet structured enough to enjoy with chicken, beef or pork, this wine is sure to delight.
