• Product Info

    This is the bottle that proves Sancerre isn’t just a one‑trick Sauvignon pony. Lucien Crochet’s 2019 “La Croix du Roy” is Loire Valley Pinot Noir that shows up like Burgundy’s cool, slightly rebellious cousin who brought their own glass and better playlist.

    In the glass, it leans into bright red cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry, with a little forest floor and spice that whispers “yes, this will get even better with some time.” The tannins are fine and gentle, the acidity is lively, and the whole thing feels like it was designed for long dinners, good conversations, and minor oversharing.

    This is a dream pairing for roast chicken, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and anything involving lots of herbs and a roasting pan. Chill it slightly for summer evenings, or pour it at cellar temperature and pretend you own a tiny wine bar in the Loire.
